AliousCrystal Palace has made a bid of approximately £11.7 million to Olympique de Marseille for Senegalese winger Ismaïla Sarr, as reported by Fabrizio Romano.
The offer includes an additional £840,700 in performance-related bonuses.
Sarr, 26, began his career in Senegal before moving to Europe, where he played for FC Metz, Rennes, and Watford.
He has shown consistent goal-scoring ability and creativity throughout his career, contributing 111 goals and assists across various teams and leagues.
The proposed deal includes a sell-on clause benefiting Marseille if Palace sells Sarr in the future.
Sarr is reportedly close to agreeing to a five-year contract with Crystal Palace, indicating the club’s long-term plans for him.
For Crystal Palace, Sarr’s arrival could provide a boost to their attacking options, especially following Michael Olise’s move to Bayern Munich.
Sarr’s speed, dribbling skills, and versatility could complement the team’s style under manager Oliver Glasner, who has already improved the team’s offensive output.
For Marseille, the deal represents an opportunity to benefit from Sarr’s potential future success through the sell-on clause.
It also allows manager De Zerbi to reshape the squad, having already brought in ex-Manchester United forward Mason Greenwood to strengthen their attack.
The transfer appears to be in its final stages, with both clubs seemingly close to reaching an agreement.
