All the talk is that Sorloth, has agreed terms with Leipzig,. If this is true then they must have an arrangement in place with his club, including possible fee. Only a free agent can talk business with another club. A statement from Palace would help. Everyone except Palace seem to talk on the subject.

Why should Palace pay a hefty recall fee? Unless of course the fee is eg £10m and Leipzig will then pay us £20m.
Best solution ( not for Trabzonspor) would be for him to end the loan, however if he dislikes us then perhaps he would not be inclined to do so but surely biting the bullet and getting a great move takes priority. For once, unexpectedly, we appear to be in the driving seat and may receive an unexpected gift

It won’t be us, if he pulls the loan deal he will likely forfeit bonuses etc...which is why he won’t. Plus what assurances will we give him that we will go through with the deal.

The worry also is If he did cancel the loan and he failed a medical etc.....then what. He would be stuck with us.

His best hope is the two clubs come to some agreement. However, this seems unlikely. Why would Palace do this, there would be nothing in it for us? This needs to be resolved soon before the Leipzig move onto other targets

Wonder what his form last season would have translated to in the premier league last season ? Maybe 15 goals, possible place in Europe

I think it's probably a done deal to Leipzig if he wants to go there

Wonder if Palace will learn a lesson from this. We did the same thing with Murray, even though we proved he could do the job

the AWB money went on ensuring we didnt make a £40m loss last season.

will be more than £40m loss this season with no player sales...im pretty sure we will not be that ambitious

If I were palace I would say, ok, initially you have the right to own him after the two year period, so you can wait until then and risk having an unhappy player or an injured player or a poor run and someone nobody wants...

or, you can give us 6 mil now or whatever the fee is and 40% of any sell on fee.

so they buy him for 6, sell him for 25, give us $10 mil (we make 16mil in total) they keep their share which is 15 mil and profit 9 million.

That's tasty.

However, we all know lawyers and what not will exploit and play victim to anything to make a dollar.

This was once a quality forum....
