Crystal Palace will be worried that one target from this summer may soon prove to be too costly due to his significantly increased price tag.
It appears that Crystal Palace is already working on transfers in preparation for possible high-profile sales this summer.
Considering that Marc Guehi, Eberechi Eze, and Michael Olise are all connected to movements abroad, it would be prudent to take this action.
It is also reassuring to see the connections being made to possible successors to these current players, as it demonstrates that Dougie Freedman and the decision-makers are forward-thinking.
Even in January, it was evident that Palace was eager to bolster their roster in anticipation of certain players’ potential departures.
One target’s value has now increased dramatically.
He appears to be the guy Palace has chosen to replace Olise in the event that the Frenchman leaves; an offer was even made for him in January.
However, CIES now reports that Soule’s worth has risen by 216% during the previous half-season, which is a rather substantial gain.
His current market value is £16.2 million, making him a steal if Freedman can sign him for that much.
This is due to reports that Palace has received a quote of £37 million for the winger; but, even at that price, he may still be valuable.
This is why he would be well worth the money:
Is Matias Soule worth spending a lot of money on for Crystal Palace?
It will take a really special player to replace Olise’s influence if he leaves this summer.
Oliver Glasner may find that player in Soule, based on his season-long stats.
This indicates to us that Soule is among the top strikers in Serie A this year, and he may be much more effective if he had better colleagues.
His crossing and generated opportunities could lead to a tempting partnership with the newly deadly Jean-Philippe Mateta.
