Palace Poised to Secure Marseille's Sarr for £12.5 Million.

Crystal Palace are finalizing the purchase of winger Ismaila Sarr from Marseille for around £12.5 million.

The 26-year-old is set to sign a five-year deal with Crystal Palace.

Sarr moved from Watford to Marseille in July of the previous year for an undisclosed sum. At Watford, he scored 34 goals in 131 games, and last season, he added five goals and six assists for Marseille.

He has netted 13 goals in 64 appearances for Senegal, won the Africa Cup of Nations in 2021, and played in two World Cups.

Marseille, under new management with Roberto de Zerbi and recently signing Manchester United’s Mason Greenwood, is looking to balance their finances.

Palace, having received £50 million from Michael Olise’s transfer to Bayern Munich, are actively seeking a new signing to fill the gap left by Olise.
