On July 14th, Tuttosport reported Crystal Palace have an agreement in principle with Perr Schuurs and need to agree a deal with Torino to sign him in the summer window.
The defender is now training with the Serie A side, leaving his agent and his employer to take care of his future. Today’s Tuttosport states he’s willing to continue with the Turin club if they don’t receive an acceptable offer.
The report states the Eagles have offered €32m but this is still €8m short of the fee requested by Torino chairman Urbano Cairo.
The two clubs are ‘distant’ but the talks between them could ‘reopen’ once Roy Hodgson’s side cash in from Joachim Andersen in this window.
Liverpool and Napoli have also looked at the centre-back but are behind the London club.
Tuttosport explain that Crystal Palace are the ones to have ‘advanced economically’ for this operation.
There’s still six weeks left in this window and the newspaper states Torino, for now, are not willing to allow Schuurs to leave for less than €40m.
