After Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, another significant recruit for OM. The Marseille club has agreed with Watford for the transfer of winger Ismaïla Sarr, learned Le Parisien, confirming information from The Athletic. The Senegalese is expected on Monday to pass his medical examination, before signing a five-year contract.
This is a return to France for Sarr, who passed through Metz (2016-17) then Rennes (2017-19) before winning England, where he played last year in the second division. In four years at Watford, the Senegalese international played two seasons in the Premier League.
Fourth recruit of the summer
Although he has never played in the Champions League, which he should discover during the preliminary rounds this summer, Sarr has significant international experience with the Teranga Lions. With 52 caps, he played in two World Cups (2018, 2022) and won the African Cup of Nations in 2021.
He is the fourth Marseille recruit of the summer, after Geoffrey Kondogbia, Renan Lodi and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang. Sarr could be joined by his compatriot Iliman Ndiaye, with whom negotiations are continuing, according to information from RMC.
