Liverpool have reportedly suffered a setback in their pursuit of Crystal Palace forward Ismaïla Sarr.
The Senegal international has attracted attention because of his pace, directness and experience in English football.
Liverpool are believed to be looking for additional attacking options, and Sarr’s ability to play in several positions makes him an appealing target.
However, Palace are reluctant to lose an important attacking player without receiving a significant offer.
Liverpool could therefore face a difficult negotiation if they decide to push ahead.
Sarr has already demonstrated that he can cause problems for Premier League defences with his speed and movement.
For Liverpool, adding another experienced attacker could provide valuable depth during a long season.
The situation remains one of the transfer stories to watch as the deadline approaches.
