# Virals: Liverpool named as ‘dangerous competitor’ in race to sign Ismaila Sarr

[Liverpool](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/03/25/virals-liverpool-target-yves-bissouma-set-to-leave-epl-club/) have been named as a ‘dangerous competitor’ in the race to sign Watford winger [Ismaila Sarr](https://readliverpoolfc.com/2022/03/23/virals-liverpool-have-ismaila-sarr-on-list-of-attacking-transfer-options/).

The 24-year-old ace has been [linked](https://talksport.com/football/962320/liverpool-ismaila-sarr-transfer-watford-sadio-mane-riyad-mahrez/) to the Reds previously and it would appear that the interest remains.

However, there may now be fierce competition for the Senegal international’s signature as AC Milan also [attempts](https://sempremilan.com/milan-watford-winger-ismaila-sarr) to sign Sarr.

According to a report from [*Corriere Dello Sport*](https://www.corrieredellosport.it/news/calcio/calcio-mercato/milan/2022/03/24-91211637/milan_l_agente_di_sarr_allo_scoperto_lascera_il_watford_in_estate_?infinite=), as cited by [LFC Transfer Room](https://twitter.com/LFCTransferRoom/status/1507370246247796746) on Twitter, Liverpool are still in the mix.

The report claims that the Reds will be in the ‘footsteps’ of the [39-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ismaila-sarr/nationalmannschaft/spieler/410225/verein_id/3499) star in the summer transfer window.

So far this season Sarr – who was [described](https://www.hertfordshiremercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/ben-foster-watford-ismaila-sarr-6681008) as a ‘freak’ by Ben Foster due to his blistering pace – has [scored five times and provided one assist](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ismaila-sarr/leistungsdaten/spieler/410225) in 16 Premier League appearances.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £24.30million and under contract at Vicarage Road until 2024 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/ismaila-sarr/marktwertverlauf/spieler/410225)), signing the electric Senegalese forward could prove to be an expensive venture.

But, should Watford [suffer relegation](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) a move seems inevitable and the London club may be forced to cut their losses and cash in.

Possessing [strong](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/322670/Show/Isma%C3%AFla-Sarr) dribbling and finishing, as well as raw pace, there is clearly something to work with in the right-winger and Jurgen Klopp would relish the opportunity to improve yet another rough diamond.
