# Liverpool: Reds still interested in Ismaila Sarr move

**Liverpool remain interested in signing long-time target Ismaila Sarr in the summer transfer window, according to a latest transfer rumour.**

### The Lowdown: Sarr linked in the past

The Senegalese forward famously scored twice for Watford against the Reds back in 2019/20, ending their hopes of going unbeaten for a whole Premier League season.

Sarr remains at the Hornets currently but he hasn’t always been a regular this season due to injuries, making [15 league starts](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/322670/Show/Isma%C3%AFla-Sarr) and scoring five goals in that time.

Liverpool have been [linked](https://www.si.com/soccer/liverpool/transfers/report-update-in-transfer-chase-for-liverpool-target-and-watfords-senegal-striker-ismaila-sarr) with a move for the winger numerous times in the past and it appears as though their interest isn’t going away.

### The Latest: New rumour emerges

According to [*Corriere dello Sport*](https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/calcio-mercato/milan/2022/03/24-91211637/milan_l_agente_di_sarr_allo_scoperto_lascera_il_watford_in_estate_?infinite=) and [*Telelombardia*](https://www.milannews.it/calciomercato-milan/telelombardia-milan-nei-giorni-scorsi-incontro-con-gli-intermediari-di-ismaila-sarr-costa-molto-piace-anche-al-liverpool-446003) \[via [*Sport Witness*](https://sportwitness.co.uk/liverpool-seen-dangerous-competitor-race-signing-agent-opens-move-meeting-already-held/)\], the Reds are seen as a ‘dangerous competitor’ in the race to sign the 24-year-old this summer.

He is also ‘a favourite’ of AC Milan’s but Liverpool are providing ‘competition’ for his signature, ahead of a likely exit at the end of the season.

### The Verdict: Possible replacement for superstar

Liverpool are in a situation where they have five superb attacking options currently, so it is hard to imagine Jurgen Klopp needing any reinforcements in that area.

That being said, there is a chance that one of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane or Roberto Firmino could leave this summer, which would then open up a space in the squad.

If so, Sarr would be an exciting option to come in, having [scored nine goals in 39 caps](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ismaila-sarr/profil/spieler/410225) for Senegal and been [hailed](https://www.rousingthekop.com/2021/09/20/garth-crooks-has-heaped-praise-on-liverpool-target-ismaila-sarr/) as ‘outstanding’ by Garth Crooks, bringing the same pace and directness out wide as his mentor Mane.
