Leicester City and West Ham United have already met with Juventus youngster Matías Soulé’s agents ahead of a move this summer.
That’s according to Tuttosport, who say the Premier League duo could be pushing ahead while Crystal Palace are ‘more to the side’ in the race at this moment in time.
The newspaper explains that the 21-year-old could be sold by Juventus this summer after a season of impressing on loan at Frosinone.
The Italian side are eyeing up a €40m sale for the highly rated 21-year-old and if Leicester or West Ham were to put such a figure on the table, they would be more than happy to sell.
In reality, clubs only want to pay half that and Juventus will have to be more realistic.
Several reports today have indicated that Leicester and West Ham are keen on the winger, with one stating that a meeting with his agents was set to take place. Tuttosport, though, say that the meeting has already taken place in London.
They also add that Crystal Palace are in the mix, although they are ‘more to the side’ at this moment in time.
The Eagles were one of the first Premier League sides credited with interest in him and several reports over the last few months have continued that, although it’s not clear from Tuttosport if they also met his agents.
It would be strange for them to be keen and pass up an opportunity to do so while they are in London, though.
Either way, Crystal Palace, Leicester and West Ham are all interested and the latter two have already spoken to the player’s agents about making a transfer happen.
