ESPN: Liverpool Could Pursue Ismaila Sarr in January; Richarlison May Move to Saudi Arabia

According to ESPN, Liverpool are still monitoring Crystal Palace forward Ismaila Sarr, while Richarlison could move to the Saudi league.

Although the transfer window has closed, clubs are still working on deals. Here are the latest transfer updates.

According to Football Insider, after failing to sign Crystal Palace forward Ismaila Sarr before the summer deadline, Liverpool could make another move for him in January. Although Crystal Palace blocked his departure late in the transfer window, the Senegal international still hopes to join Liverpool. Sarr is expected to remain on Liverpool's recruitment list, although Cody Gakpo's situation could affect the club's plans, after a potential transfer to Manchester City previously collapsed.

The Evening Standard reported that after a proposed move to Trabzonspor fell through, Richarlison could now turn to the Saudi league in search of an opportunity to leave Tottenham Hotspur. The Brazil international has requested a departure and was not included in Tottenham's Premier League squad, but the deal was not completed when the Turkish transfer window closed. Saudi Arabia remains a possible destination, while clubs in Portugal, Brazil and Mexico can still make signings. If no deal is reached, Tottenham could consider terminating Richarlison's contract.

According to TEAMtalk, Arsenal inquired about Brentford winger Kevin Schade during the summer transfer window. The Gunners wanted to strengthen their attack, and the Germany international became a potential target, but Brentford refused to negotiate. It was reported that Brentford would not even consider offers exceeding the club-record £70 million fee generated by Mbeumo, which led Arsenal to pursue other targets. Bayern Munich are also interested in the 24-year-old player.

L'Equipe revealed that Lyon seriously considered signing Karim Benzema back during the summer transfer window. The 38-year-old forward was willing to play for one season at the club where he spent his youth career and was even prepared to play without a salary. However, Benzema's ambassador contract with the Saudi Pro League, which runs until 2030, restricted the move. After leaving Al Hilal, the former Real Madrid forward is now a free agent, and retirement is becoming increasingly likely.

According to German reports, Bayern Munich are negotiating with several Saudi Pro League clubs over a potential transfer for Sacha Boey. The 25-year-old right-back is open to moving to Saudi Arabia, and the Saudi transfer window remains open. Bayern are trying to move Boey on after his deadline-day transfer to Everton fell through. However, sporting director Freund said that if no deal is completed, the Frenchman will return to the squad.
