Palace rebuff Liverpool's Sarr approach and only an astronomical number will see them being ready to talk. Liverpool never bid for player and unlikely to take it any further.
According to David Ornstein.

I honestly don't blame Palace.
The window shuts soon and they have no chance of signing a replacement.
We won't get anyone in and I'd prefer that than a hurried signing.
Act in haste, repent at leisure.
26 Aug 2026 16:45:55
Most likely a bluff. Maybe they want to push PSG a bit with Mbaye.
26 Aug 2026 16:56:16
If only, @Ross. All it is doing is showing PSG just how desperate we are and strengthening their position.
We should have had Barcola and Mbaye wrapped up and integrated into the squad weeks ago.
Instead, we will either end up spending way over the odds for a mediocre winger or being forced to play a 17 year old out of position there for the next 4 months.
26 Aug 2026 17:04:22
Absolute farce. This is self-sabotage on an industrial scale. Leaving it weeks and weeks and weeks, and getting to the last week of the window is staggering incompetence. Well run club, my arse.
26 Aug 2026 17:15:59
After the Guehi saga last year you can't be relying on Palace to do deals at the last minute.
26 Aug 2026 17:27:52
Hughes should've gone with Slot.

What Viktor said!
26 Aug 2026 17:40:38
Forest sign Delap (De-crap) for 50 million?
Javi Rueda (24), Celta Vigo ex RM right back, in talks also with Glass-nob, Forest circa £13 million move.
Axel Disasi joins Palace season long loan. Thunder and Lightning on Merseyside now, Barcolas jet will try for a safe landing tomorrow morning, weather permitting?

I'm already looking forward to RW Chapter IV, in which we spend all of next summer "negotiating" a deal for Rayan.
26 Aug 2026 18:09:55
Absolutely agree, Viktor. Just unbelievable! And only 5 days to go now until this farce is over.
26 Aug 2026 18:13:58
Our transfer policy is fun. Put pics of any injured player on a dart board. Close your eyes and throw the dart. Whoever it hits, you put in a bid for, which gets rejected. Then throw another dart.
{Ed0666's Note - there’s a game show idea if I’ve ever heard one
26 Aug 2026 18:14:57
Let's just start Munoz on the right and stick with him. Wirtz on the left, Gakpo in a Firminho role.
When Ekitike is back, maybe he can cover right when needed.
26 Aug 2026 18:17:24
Let's just sign M'Baye and Camara, both deals are very doable, and if you get those two plus Barcola, that would actually balance the squad.
{Ed0666's Note - and would be a 9/10 transfer window if you include JJ and the Barcelona Captain whose name I can’t pronounce or spell.
26 Aug 2026 18:38:36
Those deals are doable by any club with a capable director. Sadly we aren't.
26 Aug 2026 19:05:09
If it's all a ruse in order to get M'Baye good enough. But, if it's not, if it's genuine panic buying, then someone higher up needs to put a stop to it. Laughing stock or sabotage.
{Ed0666's Note - pretty difficult to stop the lunatics taking over the asylum late

Man City.. want a player, sign player.
Arsenal... want a player, sign player.
Spurs... want a player, sign player.
Chelsea... want a player, sign player.
Liverpool... want a player, oh wait, he's too expensive, we could get him for free next season, he's not the player we need, he doesn't fit our system, just keeping our options open, player signs for another club.
Somebody, please make it stop.
26 Aug 2026 19:51:02
Just imagine being Ron Funk.
26 Aug 2026 19:52:15
Exactly, MoT. We'd challenge for the title with those in the starting eleven.
26 Aug 2026 20:16:46
Didn't one of the ITK's and possibly Romano say "expect Liverpool to be linked to a lot of different players in the next few weeks"? Is this not what is happening now?
{Ed0666's Note - yes one of the ITK’s on this site said the very same thing. I can’t remember who tho can someone refresh my memory?
26 Aug 2026 20:32:21
Yeah it was one of those pesky ITK's but they are few and you are many. So who knows which one it was
26 Aug 2026 21:53:30
TheFields, I think.
