Three days ago, Belgian journalist Sacha Tavolieri stated Crystal Palace are ready to meet VfL Wolfsburg’s €10m request to sign Aster Vranckx.
On Tuesday, Corriere dello Sport reported Fiorentina have shown interest in the midfielder, but they can’t compete financially with Crystal Palace.
The Italian club continue to chase the 21-year-old. That’s according to Firenze Viola, who indicate that they can overcome competition from Crystal Palace.
The Serie A side won’t have a problem agreeing personal terms with him because the deal they can offer is higher than his current salary at the German club.
Fiorentina sporting director Daniele Pradè is working to convince Wolfsburg to lower their demands. This could allow another club to overcome them in the transfer race, and this is when the report mentions Crystal Palace.
It’s claimed the Eagles are interested in the Belgium international and they could possibly guarantee a ‘rich’ offer to secure his services.
Fiorentina don’t seem to be worried about Crystal Palace as the two clubs don’t have the same objectives. They have qualified for the UEFA Conference League playoffs, while the Eagles can’t offer European football next season.
Firenze Viola claim this is a ‘weapon’ for Fiorentina to get ahead of Crystal Palace to sign the player.
They still have to convince Wolfsburg, which gives Oliver Glasner’s side an opportunity to try to get ahead of them in the transfer race.
