In a dramatic twist that has stunned Crystal Palace fans, Mali international and prolific forward Ismaila Sarr has officially ended his stay at Selhurst Park by agreeing to a sensational £40 million move to Birmingham City FC. After weeks of intense negotiations, Sarr has reportedly signed a five-year contract with the Midlands club, sealing a deal that’s been making headlines across the UK this morning.

The 26-year-old winger, known for his blistering pace and flair, made it clear in recent days that he no longer wished to play for Crystal Palace, citing personal and professional reasons. His departure comes as a major blow to the Eagles, who considered him a key part of their attacking lineup.

 

Sources close to the player revealed that Sarr had been pushing for the move behind the scenes, seeing Birmingham City as a fresh challenge and an opportunity to play a central role in their ambitious project. Palace fans have reacted with disappointment and disbelief, expressing frustration over the club’s inability to retain one of their star performers.

 

Sarr is expected to be unveiled by Birmingham City later this week, with fans eagerly anticipating his debut in the blue shirt.
