Liverpool linked with Senegal winger Ismaila Sarr in Crystal Palace transfer rumour

Senegalese winger Ismaila Sarr is being linked with a move from Crystal Palace to Liverpool, with the proposed Premier League transfer currently given a 58% probability. The 28-year-old right winger has a reported market value of €45m and remains under contract at Palace until 30 June 2029.

Sarr joined Crystal Palace from Marseille in August 2024 for a reported €15m. He helped the club win the FA Cup and UEFA Conference League in the 2025-26 season, finishing as the Conference League’s top scorer with nine goals.

He has yet to feature for Palace in the opening two possible Premier League matches of the 2026-27 campaign. Sarr did, however, start all four of Senegal’s matches at the 2026 World Cup, scoring four goals and providing two assists.

A move to Liverpool would keep Sarr in the Premier League, where he has established himself as a wide attacking player. The rumour remains unconfirmed, and there is no indication that an agreement between the clubs has been reached.

Sarr’s current contract means Crystal Palace are not facing an immediate expiry-related decision over his future, while his valuation has risen substantially from the €18m recorded when he left Marseille.
