Everton have been linked with a move for Rennes attacker Ismaila Sarr this year.
According to Le10 Sport, Rennes now want a huge €50million (£44million) for star winger Ismaila Sarr amid links to a number of Premier League clubs.
Sarr, 21, was touted as one of the top young talents in French football during his time with Metz, earning comparisons to former Metz talent and compatriot Sadio Mane.
Sarr has lived up to the billing with Rennes, terrorising defences with his blistering pace whilst notching 12 goals and eight assists this season.
The Senegal international is now attracting major interest, but Le10 Sport claim that Rennes have set a massive £44million price tag on the wide man.
Their report notes that Leicester City and Watford are both keen on Sarr, but Everton may well be paying attention to these reports too.
Wiw Sport in Senegal reported in January that Everton wanted Sarr, and Mercato 365 recently noted that Everton had been scouting Rennes – potentially for Sarr.
Everton are likely to pursue another winger, and Sarr fits the bill thanks to his pace, but whether Marcel Brands and co are ready to pay £44million to bring him to Goodison Park is another matter.
