Reporter reveals how Watford star’s proposed £20m move could impact Manchester United, Liverpool target

Watford’s resolve over Ismaila Sarr’s future has been strengthened further amid Emmanuel Dennis’ proposed move to Nottingham Forest, talkSPORT’s Alex Crook has said.

Watford stars Dennis and Sarr have been at the centre of plenty of speculation this summer.

Now, it has been said that Dennis’ exit could have an impact on Sarr’s situation.

TalkSPORT reporter Crook has said on Twitter that the former Club Brugge man’s move to Nottingham Forest has ‘strengthened’ Watford’s resolve regarding Sarr’s future. He adds it could now take ‘decent money’ to prize him away from Vicarage Road.

Liverpool are said to be long-term admirers, while Manchester United are also among those claimed to be interested in a possible deal as Erik ten Hag bids to bolster his ranks at Old Trafford.

A long few weeks ahead…

With Dennis seemingly outbound, supporters will be hoping that Sarr can be kept on board for the season to come.

Many might have expected both to be gone by now given that they both possess talents above Championship level. However, fingers will be crossed that Sarr can stay for another promotion push after remaining at Vicarage Road after their previous drop from the Premier League.

If interest from top clubs develops into something more concrete though, it could be a difficult task to keep him out of the grasp of the top-flight.
