Crystal Palace remain crucial in transfer situation, a domino needs to fall

The majority of reports which come from Italy about Eder potentially moving to Crystal Palace are negative.

There’s been claims Palace won’t go to the amount Inter Milan are demanding, and also that Eder simply isn’t keen on the move, but yet they still continue to be dragged into the situation.

Saturday’s edition of Gazzetta dello Sport reports that whilst Liverpool and Inter have an outline agreement for Daniel Sturridge, all that depends on Eder leaving, with Crystal Palace and Zenit said to be the clubs involved.

Sturridge would move to Inter initially on loan with the Italian club having a right of redemption around the €25m mark, but first the Eder domino needs to fall.

Claims in Italy have put Crystal Palace’s offer at a €2-3m loan fee and a further €7-8m as a buying option in the summer, but Inter want all the money now so there’s no chance the striker can return once the season is over.

This one has never looked particularly attractive for Crystal Palace and there’s nothing in Gazzetta’s Saturday claims to change that.
