Pape Matar Sarr deletes Tottenham posts as Galatasaray talks continue

Pape Matar Sarr’s future at Tottenham Hotspur has become increasingly uncertain after the club reportedly told the Senegal midfielder he is available for transfer.

According to journalist Sacha Tavolieri, Tottenham have informed Sarr that he can leave the club during the current transfer window. The decision is understood to have disappointed the 23-year-old, whose contract with the London club runs until 30 June 2030.

Sarr is reported to have reacted by removing all Tottenham-related posts from his social media accounts. The move has added to speculation over his position at the club, despite the Senegal international having established himself as an important member of the squad since arriving from FC Metz.

The midfielder has made 141 appearances for Tottenham. However, competition for places in the centre of the team has increased, leaving his long-term prospects under manager Ange Postecoglou uncertain, according to the information reported in the source.

Galatasaray are considered the most likely destination for Sarr, with Africafoot previously reporting exclusive details of the Turkish club’s interest. Negotiations between Galatasaray and Tottenham are continuing.

Tavolieri reports that Tottenham have already rejected an opening offer worth 18m euros (£15.4m), while the Premier League club are seeking 25m euros (£21.5m) for the player. Transfermarkt values Sarr at 30m euros (£25.9m), meaning the two clubs remain apart in their assessment of the midfielder.

The situation could develop quickly during the final days of the transfer window. Sarr’s existing contract gives Tottenham a strong contractual position, but his reported availability and the ongoing discussions with Galatasaray raise the possibility of a move before the window closes.

Tottenham Hotspur are due to begin their English league campaign shortly against Brentford. The match is also being used by betting company 1xbet to promote its available odds, with Tottenham priced at 2.70 to win, a draw at 3.50 and Brentford at 2.25. The source also refers to the option of downloading 1xbet.

Sarr joined Tottenham from FC Metz and has gradually become a regular presence in the club’s midfield. His 141 appearances underline the role he has played since moving to London, although the increased competition in that area of the squad has contributed to the uncertainty surrounding his future.

For now, discussions with Galatasaray remain ongoing, with Tottenham reportedly holding out for a fee of 25m euros. A decision on whether Sarr will stay in London or move to Turkey may therefore come in the closing stages of the transfer window.
