Bakary Sako’s tenure at Crystal Palace appears to be approaching its conclusion, with the winger having turned down the club’s latest contract offer.
It’s believed that the Eagles had afforded Sako the chance to stay put at Selhurst Park for the foreseeable future but as confirmed by Palace boss Roy Hodgson to Football London, the attacker will likely move on this summer.
No, he is not signing, he doesn’t want to sign. I guess he will be moving on, I don’t know, the last I heard was that he had turned down the offer of a contract that we had made to him, so that’s the last I have.
Sako has only ever been utilised as a rotational option for Palace since his arrival and it seems he will go in search of regular first-team football elsewhere ahead of next season.
The experienced winger, who is also capable of playing in a central role, is out of contract this summer and after turning down Palace’s latest proposal, he will seemingly walk away from South London on a free transfer.
Sako, 30, made four Premier League starts last term and came off the bench on 12 occasions, scoring three goals in the process.
