'For the moment, he is with us' - Palace boss speaks out on Sarr to Liverpool speculation

Sage said both forwards are committed to Palace, with Sarr recovering from a groin injury and Mateta bound by a tribunal-backed contract.

  • Crystal Palace manager Sage expects Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta to remain at the club despite transfer interest from Liverpool and Aston Villa.
  • Palace rejected a £50 million offer for Sarr, who is recovering from a groin injury, while Mateta faced a contract dispute heard by a Premier League tribunal.
  • Sage insists both players remain committed, noting Sarr trains alone due to injury while Mateta continues preparing with the squad. "I don't see a player who has a problem with the club or with us," Sage said.
  • Asked about Sarr's future at a press conference, Sage emphasized the winger's contract status: "When you have three years on the contract, it is not easy to leave."
  • Ahead of Friday's clash with Manchester City, Palace prepares for the season with both players available. Sage expressed confidence in their commitment and recovery timelines.
