Ismaila Sarr 'Recovering' After Failed Liverpool Transfer as Crystal Palace Boss Addresses January Move
Pierre Sage said the Senegal attacker must recover and digest the failed transfer after Liverpool talks collapsed and a Galatasaray move also faded.
- Crystal Palace head coach Pierre Sage confirmed Thursday that forward Ismaila Sarr needs time to recover following his failed transfer to Liverpool, remaining at Selhurst Park.
- The Reds approached the Senegalese attacker as a potential Mohamed Salah replacement, but ultimately failed to secure a deal for him or Brighton's Yankuba Minteh.
- Sage admitted Sarr needs to "digest" the disappointment, noting the move was a "dream" for the player, who remains sidelined for Saturday's match against Fulham.
- The Palace boss dismissed potential January moves for Sarr, citing European commitments; meanwhile, Palace pursued Belgium forward Malick Fofana, who joined Sunderland in a £30m deal.
- While the transfer window in Turkey remains open until Friday, Rafael Leao's arrival appears to have ended any hope of a Galatasaray move; Anfield cannot happen before January.
