Not happy to have drawn Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang into his net, Olympique de Marseille came into contact with another Premier League striker.
While waiting to sell some players to bring some money into the coffers of Olympique de Marseille, Pablo Longoria wants to continue buying. The Marseille president is currently focused on the attacking sector of his team, and after having snatched the signature of a Pierre-Emerick Aubaymeyang left free by Chelsea FC, it is now on the side of Watford that his gaze turns. The OM leader made contact with Ismaïla Sarr.
First announced by the always well-informed Fabrizio Romano, the information was confirmed on Saturday by Foot Mercato who said a little more about the file. Recalling that Watford would be rather open to discussions and that he hopes to recover between twenty-two and twenty-five million euros on the sale of his player, the media confirmed that a “first oral offer” was made on the Marseille side.
Not unknown in Ligue 1
Ismaïla Sarr has been playing at Watford for four seasons now. If he has not always been able to be particularly decisive, the Senegalese striker has however had a good last season with ten goals scored in thirty-nine Premier League games, all seasoned with six assists. Now 25 years old, the attack still has many good years ahead of him and could find in OM the team that will allow him to progress even more.
Ligue 1 is not unknown to the player trained at Génération Foot since he was notably revealed there under the colors of Stade Rennais. Four years after his departure, will Ismaïla Sarr return to France? It is in any case the wish of Pablo Longoria.
