Sarr Agent: African Players 'Commodities' in Transfers

Ismaïla Sarr's agent has claimed African players are treated like 'a commodity' in transfer deals after Liverpool's bid for the Senegal forward was rejected by Crystal Palace.

Diomansy Kamara, representing Sarr, says players must 'be heard' in negotiations. Meanwhile, Monaco defended halting Lamine Camara's move to Chelsea which collapsed on deadline day. Palace rejected Liverpool's bid for the 28-year-old forward last week, insisting their top scorer from last season was not for sale.

Sarr, who missed the opening matches against Everton and Manchester City due to injury reportedly picked up by manager Pierre Sage, subsequently deleted all references to Palace from his social media accounts, suggesting disappointment with the club's stance. afrikasportnews.co.za
