Newcastle dismiss Sarr and Milan are interested in him

Newcastle United are not prioritising the signing of Watford's Ismaila Sarr this summer. The player was in the club's plans and was in competition with Milan for his signing, but the Magpies could have changed their mind.

A source close to the club told 'Football Insider' that the winger was on Newcastle's list of targets, but the club's management have decided to look at other candidates.

The 24-year-old is expected to leave Watford this summer after being relegated to the Championship. In fact, the Hornets have reportedly offered the player for 35 million euros. The Senegal international's contract is due to expire in 2024.

This leaves the door open for Everton and Crystal Palace, who are looking to fight with Liverpool for Sarr's signature. In turn, from Italy, the 'Rossoneri' have been tracking the attacker for some time and would have an easier time signing him.
