Just one year after his arrival, Ismaïla Sarr is preparing to leave Olympique de Marseille.
The graft didn’t really take, and the story only lasted a year. Arrived at Marseille
In the summer of 2023, coming from Watford, Ismaïla Sarr is preparing to pack her bags and head back to the other side of the Channel.
The Senegalese international striker is expected to sign with Crystal Palace in the coming hours. He was not part of the plans of the new coach of Olympique de Marseille, Roberto De Zerbi, who has started to remodel the squad on a large scale to build a team capable of fitting into his game plan.
Sarr returns to England
According to information from Fabrizio Romano, Olympique de Marseille and Crystal Palace have reached an agreement for the transfer of Ismaïla Sarr. The former Rennes player is expected to join the London team for a fee of 15 million euros, to which will be added 1 million euros in bonuses.
At 26 years old, Ismaïla Sarr will therefore try to relaunch his career in a championship that he knows well. His speed, his striking qualities and his athletic dominance could be beneficial in the Premier League, after a very average season in Marseille.
