Ismaila Sarr set to miss Everton clash amid Palace future uncertainty

Ismaila Sarr is expected to miss Crystal Palace’s Premier League trip to Everton as uncertainty continues to surround his future at Selhurst Park.

The Senegal international is reportedly pushing for a move to Galatasaray, creating growing tension between the winger and his current club.

According to Foot Mercato, Sarr is unlikely to be included in Palace’s squad for the fixture. His omission comes after he allegedly made it clear internally that he wants to leave England and join the Turkish champions this summer.

Galatasaray have already turned their interest into an official approach by submitting an opening offer for the 28-year-old. Palace rejected the proposal, however, because they remain reluctant to lose an important attacking player during the transfer window.

The Istanbul club have not abandoned the pursuit and are expected to continue searching for a formula that could persuade Palace to negotiate. At the same time, Galatasaray are reportedly making progress in talks with Sarr over personal terms, strengthening his desire to complete the transfer.

His expected absence against Everton adds another twist to an increasingly complicated situation. It remains unclear whether the decision is based solely on footballing considerations or connected to the transfer dispute. For now, Sarr’s future remains unresolved, with both clubs still facing important negotiations before the deadline.
