Wolfsburg have confirmed their interest in the French footballer, and a deal was expected to go through at around €5m but Crystal Palace being dragged in by L’Equipe will ‘inevitably’ raise the price believe Kicker.
The transfer of Julian Draxler to PSG wasn’t exactly secret and Rennes will be well aware the German club have money to spend, it’s only natural for them to try every trick to increase a transfer fee.
Given all of that, there may be doubt over whether Crystal Palace are genuinely interested, or if they’re simply being used to persuade Wolfsburg into believing they really need to pay more money and get things done quickly.
