Fenerbahçe Turns Focus to Sarr After Failing to Agree with Leao
Fenerbahçe, which did not get the response it wanted in the Rafael Leao transfer, has moved closer to an agreement with Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr.
Fenerbahçe did not get the result it expected regarding Rafael Leao, over whom it had entered a transfer race together with Galatasaray. According to reports, the Portuguese star gave a negative response to the yellow-and-navy blues, a development that quickly pushed the club toward a new search.
After the doors closed on the Leao front, Fenerbahçe's management turned its attention to the Premier League. According to Italian outlet Tuttomercato, the yellow-and-navy blues have reached an agreement in principle with Senegalese winger Ismaila Sarr, who currently plays for Crystal Palace.
The same report states that the ball is now in Crystal Palace's court for the transfer to be completed. It is claimed that Fenerbahçe expects to convince the English club.
Sarr, who moved to Crystal Palace from Marseille in 2014 for 15 million euros, scored 33 goals and provided 10 assists in 93 matches for the club. The future of the player, whose contract is set to expire in 2029, will be shaped depending on how the negotiations between the clubs progress.
