Galatasaray have submitted an official offer for Crystal Palace winger Ismaila Sarr as the Turkish giants look to strengthen their attack ahead of the new season.The 28-year-old Senegal international has emerged as a priority target for the Turkish club, but Crystal Palace are under no obligation to accept the proposal given Sarr’s importance to Pierre Sage’s plans.Fabrizio Romano: Galatasaray submit Ismaila Sarr bidAccording to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Galatasaray have formally submitted an offer to Crystal Palace to secure the 28-year-old Senegal international as their primary target for the winger position.While Sarr is understood to be open to discussions regarding a potential move to Istanbul, any final agreement remains entirely dependent on Crystal Palace.The Eagles view Sarr as a key player following his impressive performances, meaning Palace will hold out for a valuation that reflects his status at Selhurst Park before considering a sale.Fabrizio Romano on X:EXCLUSIVE: Galatasaray sent official bid to Crystal Palace for Ismaila Sarr as target for winger position.
