Ismaila Sarr yet to make a decision on his future
According to Les Echos (h/t Metro), Watford star Ismaila Sarr has opened up on his future amidst links with Manchester United.
The 22-year-old is also a key target for arch-rivals Liverpool. However with the Reds set for a frugal summer, it remains to be seen if they make a move.
United for their part have identified the young Senegalese as an alternative to Jadon Sancho. Capable of playing on either wing, Watford will seek more than £40million for their star winger.
Although Sarr is open to moving to Liverpool, he has not ruled out making a switch elsewhere. He admitted that there are offers on the table but he is yet to make a decision on his future.
“Frankly, I have yet to make a choice. If that were to happen, I just wish they were a good team. At the moment, there are only guesses.”
Primarily a right-winger, Sarr can play anywhere along the front line. He made his name at Ligue 1 side Rennes before moving to Vicarage Road last summer.
The Senegalese is Watford’s record signing with his contract at Vicarage Road runs until 2024. According to the Daily Mail, a clause in his contract allows Sarr the option to leave Watford as they are relegated.

Sarr has made 30 appearances for the Hornets this season. He scored six goals and assists apiece during that time. Although they aren’t groundbreaking numbers, he is still just 22 and has shown the potential to get so much better.
