Crystal Palace may walk away from £50m Jorgen Strand Larsen deal

Crystal Palace’s proposed £50 million move for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen may collapse after the Eagles reportedly indicated they are prepared to walk away, the BBC reported on Jan 29. The two Premier League clubs had agreed the framework of a deal for the centre‑forward to move from Molineux to Selhurst Park, but that agreement was subject to Palace tabling a bid worth £50m.

Palace have not submitted that offer and now appear ready to pull the plug, a situation that could affect Jean‑Philippe Mateta’s potential move to Nottingham Forest before the deadline on Monday. Strand Larsen scored 14 goals in 35 Premier League games last season but has managed just one goal this term as Wolves sit rock‑bottom.

He is under contract until 2030, and Wolves boss Rob Edwards said: “He’s been great, he’s trained really well. He’ll be part of the squad tomorrow, so no change. That’s just all I’m looking at the moment, so seeing a player with a focus and a really good attitude. We’re not under any pressure to sell at all.

We want to try and be as strong as we can throughout this period now. So, unless we feel it’s the right thing for the football club, no‑one will go. No‑one’s been knocking on my door. They’ve all shown a really good attitude and a desire to be here and train.
