Liverpool: Fans baulk at Ismaila Sarr’s reported £40m valuation
Plenty of Liverpool fans have baulked at the price they would apparently need to pay to sign reported transfer target Ismaila Sarr.
The Watford winger, who has been linked with a potential move to Anfield (as per Evening Standard), will seemingly cost prospective suitors at least £40m to sign him. That is according to an update from Guardian Sport’s deputy news editor Ed Aarons, who also claimed on Twitter (via @ed_aarons) that the Hornets had yet to receive any offers for the 22-year-old.
Told that Watford have yet to receive any offers for Ismaila Sarr as yet. Senegal forward could cost £40m+

Sarr scored six goals, including two against Liverpool in February, and provided six assists for Watford last season but was unable to prevent them from being relegated from the Premier League. The Hertfordshire club had made him their record signing at £30m from Rennes last year and now believe that his value has increased following his performances in the English top flight.
Is £40m a fair price for Ismaila Sarr?
Yes
No
However, with Liverpool having signed the prolific Mohamed Salah from Roma for £36.9m back in 2017, many Reds fans feel that fellow right winger Sarr is overpriced, with one fan branding the £40m valuation as “ludicrous”. Another insisted that “Adama would be better” in reference to Wolves’ Adama Traore, who plays in the same position and ended the season with six goals and 12 assists in all competitions, and who was also linked with a potential move to the Reds.

We should stay well away at that ludicrous price

Definitely a smokescreen for someone, there’s no way we’re paying anything near £40m https://t.co/pbkPSHu7Lz
