Galatasaray has accelerated its transfer efforts for Crystal Palace's Senegalese winger Ismaila Sarr. The management has reached an agreement with the player. On the other hand, the Senegalese player was left out of his team's squad for the match against Everton at his own request.

Continuing their efforts to strengthen their squad following the Aleksey Batrakov transfer, Galatasaray are pressing on with their attempts to sign Ismaila Sarr, who plays for Premier League side Crystal Palace, for the right wing position.

AGREEMENT WITH PLAYER REACHED

According to Fabrizio Romano's report; Galatasaray have shaken hands on personal terms with the Senegalese winger. Following the agreement, the management submitted an official transfer offer to Crystal Palace. It was learned that the English club has demanded a transfer fee of 60 million Euros for the talented 28-year-old player.

PRESSURE PAYS OFF: LEFT OUT OF SQUAD

Ismaila Sarr, who is open to transferring to Galatasaray and wants to wear the red-and-yellow jersey, has taken a step to speed up the process. The star player, at his own request, was not included in Crystal Palace's squad for their match against Everton. Previously, Crystal Palace head coach Pierre Sage, speaking about the player's future, had said: "Sarr is a critical player for us and we will keep him in the team. He is also in a condition to be on the pitch for the weekend match."

STATISTICS

The Senegalese player, who has a contract with the English club until 2029 and whose current market value is shown to be around 45 million Euros, has managed to score 33 goals and provide 10 assists in 92 official matches throughout his club career.
