Manchester United begins talks to sign Ismaila Sarr from Crystal Palace
Summary

Manchester United has initiated discussions with Ismaila Sarr's representatives regarding a potential transfer from Crystal Palace. The talks are in the early stages, as United seeks attacking options following an impressive season for Sarr, who scored 20 goals in all competitions. Sarr's performance, including four goals in the World Cup, has led to a rise in his transfer valuation, with Palace reportedly wanting more than three times the fee they paid in 2024. With three years remaining on Sarr's contract, negotiations may face challenges, particularly if Juventus enters the fray. Despite a broader search for forwards, Sarr has emerged as a primary target for United.
