Agent reveals Sarr asked Mane to find him an apartment in January
Ismaila Sarr’s agent, Thierno Seyd, reveals that Jurgen Klopp's side had everything agreed for the Senegalese in January but couldn't come up with the funds to get the deal over the line. In addition, Manchester United offered a loan deal for the Watford’s star.
Seydi
told PanAfricanFootball:
“With Liverpool, a few days ago, we were at the stage of signing the contract that would tie the Reds to Ismaila Sarr.
“Everything was sorted: the monthly wages and the length of the deal. I’d even asked Sadio Mane to find him an apartment.
“But it in the end, they weren’t able to put the €40 million (£35m/$49m) on the table to finalise the deal.
“You have to say that if English clubs that once animated the transfer window are struggling to put funds together, that shows the depth of the crisis affecting football.”
Seydi
added about the Red Devils’ offer:
“During the summer, they wanted to sign him. At the last moment, they offered a loan without the option to buy.
“Watford did not accept this because they wanted the loan to include an agreement to buy him.”
