Liverpool appear set to complete a deal to sign Wolves forward Diogo Jota in the next few hours, and the player is set to join in a £ 41 million deal.
But it appears he was not the only attacker Liverpool were investigating this week.
As reported by Liverpool ECHO, contacted Watford earlier this week regarding a possible deal for Ismaila Sarr.
The report claims Liverpool got in touch with the player, who was one of the Hornets’ stars of the season despite the club’s relegation from the Premier League.

However, the report claims that a starting price of more than £ 40 million pushed Liverpool away from the deal.
The Daily Mail has He also reported on the contact with Watford, but they claim that Sarr was valued at more than £ 50 million, a figure Liverpool are right to reject.
the ECHO report seems to suggest that the structure of the current deal with the Wolves is far more financially beneficial for Liverpool than Watford would have wanted for the Senegalese star, who surprised Liverpool with an impressive performance in February.
Liverpool clearly decided that Watford’s demands for Sarr were simply irrational given the player’s relative inexperience in the Premier League.
Jota seems like a safer bet given his longer tenure in English football and Liverpool fans will only hope the club has invested in the right attacker.
