"Wolves are braced for a bid totalling 50m for Jrgen Strand Larsen from Crystal Palace. The Norway striker is expected to exit in this window, and Palace are in advanced discussions to sign him. The agent Jorge Mendes is leading negotiations on behalf of Wolves, with an initial 45m, plus 5m in add-ons, mooted. It remains to be seen whether rivals would move to match or exceed that offer; Leeds are viewed as the most serious competition but Palace are in pole position."
"Leeds had a bid of about 40m rejected for the 25-year-old this month, and Nottingham Forest, also hunting an experienced striker, have also been monitoring him. In the summer Strand Larsen was the subject of several bids from Newcastle totalling 55m but Wolves rejected those. The Premier League's bottom club recognise Strand Larsen's value will plummet in the event of relegation."
"Strand Larsen signed permanently for Wolves in a 23m deal last summer after scoring 14 goals during a loan from Celta Vigo. In September he signed a contract extension to 2030 but has since struggled and a sale, at the right price, would benefit all parties. Palace pushing through a deal for Strand Larsen is expected to have a domino effect at Selhurst Park and beyond."
Crystal Palace are in advanced talks to sign Jrgen Strand Larsen with Wolves braced for a £50m offer structured as £45m plus £5m in add-ons. Jorge Mendes is leading negotiations on behalf of Wolves over the proposed deal. Leeds previously saw a bid of about £40m rejected and Nottingham Forest have monitored the player, while Newcastle made bids totalling £55m in the summer that Wolves rejected. Strand Larsen joined Wolves permanently for £23m after a successful loan, signed an extension to 2030, has since struggled, and a sale at the right price would suit all parties. Palace progress could trigger outgoing moves such as Jean-Phillipe Mateta, who wants to leave, and Palace will not allow departures without replacements. Separately, Burnley have taken James Ward-Prowse on loan from West Ham.
