Thierno Seydi, Sarr’s agent, told SunSport said: “He is very fast with an excellent technique.
“He has the same qualities as Dembele of Barcelona. They are similar players.
“I have received many calls from English and German clubs and maybe even one from Italy.
“Many agents from the UK have called me proposing to work with them and Ismaïla to get him to the Premier League.
“One Italian agent asked to speak with Juventus. The price will be around 50-60m Euros.”
Sarr received rave reviews for his World Cup displays, especially for his performance against Poland, with BBC pundit Gary Lineker describing him as a star of the future.
Seydi added: “We are talking about a great football player, who will play at the highest levels for the next ten years.
“I am open to discussions with all top European club. The important thing is that he goes in a team that makes him play.
“He cannot stay on the bench. Last year Barcelona wanted him. Let's see what happens now.”
