Liverpool have identified Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr as a potential signing after Brighton rejected two separate bids from the Anfield club for Yankuba Minteh.
Brighton declined the approaches for Minteh, prompting Liverpool to open discussions about alternative attacking options. Sarr, who currently plays for Crystal Palace, has emerged as a viable target as Liverpool look to bolster their forward ranks.
The moves come amid ongoing transfer activity as clubs across the Premier League reshape squads ahead of the new campaign. Liverpool's interest in Sarr signals a willingness to pursue established players after being rebuffed in their efforts to acquire Minteh from Brighton.
Neither Liverpool nor Crystal Palace have announced formal offers, and Brighton's refusal to sell Minteh underlines the Premier League clubs' differing positions in ongoing negotiations. It remains unclear whether Liverpool will submit a bid for Sarr or continue to pursue other alternatives as talks progress.
