Liverpool have been linked with the Watford attacker Ismaila Sarr this summer. According to France Football (h/t Sportwitness), the Premier League champions have now secured an agreement with Watford and they are looking to sort out personal terms with the player now.
They either drag out for months like VvD and Thiago or just come out of nowhere without us even suspecting. Who can tell?
Jota is LW, Sarr is RW we will get Sarr and a CB. They will build a statue of Edwards and Mito will self implode

Georginio Wijnaldum has rejected a new long-term Liverpool contract but is set to remain at the club this season, Football Insider understands. The Holland international’s future has been a big talking point following the blockbuster signing of Thiago Alcantara last week.
Good! Am glad we keep him for another year and he’s entitled to look for his last pay packet after his contract has been run down. As long as he gives 100%, and I’m sure he will, this is good news.
I hate to be a negative nelly, but Sarr much like his twin brother Thiago will not be signing for us.
can't see us getting £20m for either Wilson or Shaqiri though Wilson has more chance due to age & HG status .
I think we've got enough attackers for now. A more solid and reliable (as in - not injured all the time) CB is a bigger priority.
Okay, let's look at it this way: VVD - best defender in the world, but sometimes plays like he's bored with how good he his. Needs an occasional kick up the arse. JoGo: Ridiculously quick and mobile, but seems to have lost his mojo since the City mauling last season. Get's injured at least once a season. Fab: Fab, but we haven't seen him up against a Deeney or Giroud yet. And he's still the best DM in the league, imo. Matip: Reliable when he plays - and you can rely on him not playing most games. You need four CB's to get through a full Prem and CL season, and someone to deputise in the early rounds of domestic cups. I'm all for giving Williams a run out CB in the League Cup as he's tall and aggressive in the air. But we need a fresh CB for a full season: one from the lower leagues (who are really struggling for money atm) might be an idea, as might a European loan. Don't want that Diego Carlos from sevilla though - he looks expensive and rash, imo. And don't need to throw our empty wad at Koullibaly either - tremendous as he is, £70m on a fourth CB would be a ridiculous waste of limited resources. A happy medium is what's required. But all that said - if we can strike a good deal for Sarr as well atm, I would get him. The front three are pushing 30. They'll need replacing in the next few years, even with Mbappe and Sancho coming next year.
