Agent: 'Top European clubs want to sign Rennes winger Ismaila Sarr'

By Darren Plant, Senior Reporter | 24 July 2018

The agent of Rennes winger Ismaila Sarr says that a number of top European clubs - including Juventus - hold an interest in the Senegal international.

Agent Thierno Seydi has suggested that a number of European clubs are weighing up an offer for Rennes winger Ismaila Sarr.

The 20-year-old has already scored 10 goals in 55 appearances in Ligue 1, and the youngster further enhanced his reputation while representing Senegal at the World Cup.

Sarr's performances have allegedly resulted in interest from the Premier League and the Bundesliga, while Seydi has specifically claimed that Juventus hold an interest in the attacker.

Seydi told The Sun: "He is very fast with an excellent technique. He has the same qualities as [Ousmane] Dembele of Barcelona. They are similar players.

"I have received many calls from English and German clubs and maybe even one from Italy. Many agents from the UK have called me proposing to work with them and Ismaila to get him to the Premier League.

"One Italian agent asked to speak with Juventus. The price will be around €50-60m. We are talking about a great football player, who will play at the highest levels for the next ten years."

Sarr still has three years remaining on his contract at Rennes.
