Crystal Palace will demand more than £50 million before even considering letting Ismaila Sarr leave this summer, with Manchester United among the clubs keeping tabs on the 28-year-old winger.

According to TEAMtalk, Palace’s stance is firm despite Galatasaray having already struck an agreement with the player’s camp and continuing to pursue a deal.

Palace holding firm on valuation

Sarr was an instant hit at Selhurst Park after arriving in the summer of 2024, scoring 12 goals in his debut campaign before following up with 21 in all competitions last season. This term, he has nine Premier League goals and nine in the Conference League, underlining why Palace are reluctant to sanction a cut-price exit.

Galatasaray remain in the picture

TEAMtalk’s report states that Sarr is keen on the possibility of leaving Selhurst Park, while Galatasaray are pushing to make the move happen. The asking price would make him the second-most expensive player in the history of Turkish football behind Victor Osimhen, and Galatasaray are said to be reluctant to match that fee.

Where does this leave United?

TEAMtalk adds that United continue to monitor developments, though a move for Sarr would prove difficult given Palace’s stance. United’s attack has been under scrutiny after the defeat to Hull City, while Marcus Rashford and Joshua Zirkzee’s futures remain uncertain. The report indicates that Palace’s valuation could make a move for Sarr difficult this summer.
