Club ‘closing’ to sign Crystal Palace midfielder – Player would be returning to former club

Crystal Palace midfielder Luka Milivojevic could still leave the club this summer, according to the latest reports.

It’s Italian outlet TuttoMercatoWeb who today features a story about Olympiakos’ last moves in the final hours of the Greek transfer window.

And among the targets the club have been working on, there’s the Crystal Palace man.

Milivojevic had already belonged to Olympiakos between 2014 and 2017, when he joined the Premier League side on a €15m deal.

With the Greek club working on several signings on deadline day, the midfielder’s name is mentioned along the likes of Keylor Navas, James Rodriguez, Cedric Bakambu, Pajtim Kasami and Omar Elabdellaoui.

TuttoMercatoWeb don’t bring any details on how much Olympiakos are offering or the price demanded by Crystal Palace for the transfer of Milivojevic.

It’s just said the Greek side are ‘closing’ to get his signing done.

Featuring for the English side this season, the Serbian player has managed to make five appearances, but always getting a few minutes at the end of games in the league.

So looking for more regular playing time would probably be the bigger reason for him to accept the move.
