£50m Bid Made: Liverpool Open Talks over Signing 21-Goal Winger as Minteh Alternative

Liverpool have made a reported £50 million bid for Ismaila Sarr after the Yankuba Minteh move collapsed, with the winger scoring 21 goals last season.

  • On Wednesday, August 26, 2026, Liverpool reportedly submitted a £50m bid for Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr. The Reds are pursuing the Senegal international to strengthen their attacking options.
  • Liverpool turned to Sarr after negotiations with Brighton regarding Yankuba Minteh collapsed. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the clubs failed to bridge a valuation gap for the player.
  • Ismaila Sarr netted 21 goals across all competitions last season, helping the Eagles secure the Europa Conference League title. The winger's standout performance establishes him as a high-profile target.
  • Galatasaray previously attempted to sign the Senegal international, though Crystal Palace rejected two offers from the club. The Palace hierarchy now faces pressure to retain key players after recent departures.
  • Beyond Sarr, Liverpool remains interested in PSG winger Bradley Barcola, whom the French giants value at around £145m. This alternative target reflects the Reds' broader attacking ambitions this window.
