Overview
- Palace and Wolves were reported to have a framework of £45m plus up to £5m in add-ons, but sources now differ on whether Palace intend to walk away.
- Leeds remain in discussions yet are not prepared to exceed about £40m, a fee that would already be a club-record signing for them.
- Wolves are open to selling if their price is met after turning down larger summer offers, including an approach of around £55m from Newcastle.
- Palace’s pursuit is linked to Jean-Philippe Mateta’s situation, with Nottingham Forest’s roughly £35m bid still awaiting a formal response.
- Strand Larsen has one Premier League goal this season, wants to stay in the top flight, and intermediaries including Jorge Mendes are involved in talks.
