Little by little Crystal Palace are getting closer to signing Alexander Sorloth.
After a morning of contradicting and confusing Scandinavian claims, what we do know is that Sorloth left FC Midtjylland’s Dubai training base early today and flew to England.
In Norway it was reported the striker would be moving for 100m NOK, which works out to be €9.17m, but in Denmark it was claimed FC Midtjylland want 112m Danish Krone, which is €13.2m.
Now Danish newspaper Ekstra Bladet have spoken to FC Midtjylland’s sport director Svend Graversen, who told them: “We are close to realising a unique opportunity for FC Midtjylland. We’re working hard and there is nothing official to report yet, and I can only repeat that we are very close to realising a unique opportunity.”
That certainly sounds like a deal is close to being done for Crystal Palace, and Ekstra Bladet say Sorloth is sorting out his personal terms with the Premier League club.
The Danish club are said to be looking for a replacement striker, but it’s not thought that could kill the deal, with the money on offer from Crystal Palace such a big deal to FC Midtjylland.
