Sarr Agent: African Players 'Commodity' in Transfers

Ismaïla Sarr's agent has accused clubs of treating African players like 'a commodity' after Crystal Palace rejected Liverpool's bid for the Senegal forward.

Diomantsy Kamara, Sarr's representative, made the claims after Palace turned down Liverpool's approach for the 28-year-old, who is Palace's top scorer from last season. The club insists Sarr is not for sale, though the player reportedly deleted all references to the team from his social media accounts following the decision. cricket-ipl.in

Meanwhile, Monaco's decision to halt Lamine Camara's move to Chelsea on deadline day has also raised concerns about how African players are treated in transfer negotiations. Sarr missed Palace's opening matches against Everton and Manchester City after manager Pierre Sage said he had picked up an injury.
