Crystal Palace have rebuffed an initial approach from Liverpool for Ismaila Sarr.
Liverpool discussed a move for Sarr as their search for a right-sided winger continues and the Palace attacker was identified as a player of interest until it became clear his current club were not willing to sell.
Exploratory talks for Sarr were not followed by a bid and sources have told The Athletic that only an astronomical bid would change Palaceβs stance and, with other targets still in mind, Liverpool are unlikely to budge.
