Crystal Palace have reportedly closed a deal with São Paulo for the transfer of goalkeeper Lucas Perri.
As reported by Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte, the 21-year-old is joining the London side on a loan deal until the end of the season, with the Eagles having an option to buy.
Lucas Perri had been at São Paulo’s pre-season preparation in the United States, and shouldn’t even train with the team anymore.
It’s claimed that Crystal Palace are getting 80% of his economic rights for that amount, with São Paulo keeping the other 20%. Third party ownership isn’t allowed in the Premier League, so that’s likely to be a percentage of a future transfer.
Globo Esporte adds that Perri sorted out his Italian passport last year, so he should have no problems being registered in the Premier League.
