Crystal Palace have not ruled out selling Ismaila Sarr despite concerns about losing too many star players this summer. The Eagles are open to offers for the winger, who enjoyed an outstanding campaign last season, scoring 21 goals across all competitions and helping his side win the Conference League. Sarr also impressed at the World Cup for Senegal, scoring four goals in four games and attracting high-profile interest from several clubs across Europe.
What's the latest on Ismaila Sarr's future?
Crystal Palace are extremely reluctant to lose Sarr, but every player has a price. A "huge" offer could be enough to tempt the Eagles to sell, although as things stand, he remains a crucial part of their plans ahead of his return to pre-season training. Pierre Sage is hoping not to lose any more key players following the sale of Maxence Lacroix to Chelsea and does not want to see his squad weakened.
Why is Crystal Palace open to selling Ismaila Sarr?
While the Eagles currently have no plans to lose any more of their best players this summer, they have not ruled out future departures in case of an offer they cannot refuse. "Crystal Palace haven't ruled out selling Ismaila Sarr this summer," said Mick Brown, former Man United chief scout. "Their stance over his future is the same as with the rest of their players, if somebody wants to come in with a huge offer, they might find that hard to turn down."
Which clubs are interested in signing Ismaila Sarr this summer?
Despite Crystal Palace being reluctant to lose Sarr this summer, the idea that they could allow him to move on for the right offer is likely to put his suitors on high alert. The Senegal international has most recently been linked with a move to Fenerbahce, with reports in Turkey talking up the possibility of a move. Meanwhile, Football Insider reported on 20 July that Man United have emerged as the favourites to sign Sarr and are big admirers of the winger after his displays for Palace.
