Crystal Palace are determined to retain Ismaïla Sarr beyond the January transfer window, with the club reportedly making progress in talks over a new long-term contract for the Senegalese winger.
The 28-year-old has attracted interest from Liverpool, who were linked with a move for him during the summer transfer window. However, Palace remain keen to keep the forward at Selhurst Park, viewing him as a key part of their long-term plans.
Despite the uncertainty surrounding his future, Sarr has continued to demonstrate his value to the South London club. Palace have reportedly opened formal negotiations over an extended deal as they seek to secure his services and discourage potential suitors ahead of the January window.
The club are focused on maintaining their Premier League status and believe retaining their key players will be crucial to achieving their objectives. With discussions said to be progressing positively, Palace are hopeful of reaching an agreement that would strengthen their position against renewed interest.
Liverpool could yet revisit their interest when the transfer window reopens, but Palace’s reported stance is clear: they are determined to keep Sarr and are not planning to sanction a mid-season departure.
