Crystal Palace are stepping up in their pursuit of signing Torino’s Alieu Njie this summer. Two months ago, we relayed news of Everton’s willingness to offer €9-10m for the winger. However, David Moyes’ side didn’t make advances, allowing Crystal Palace to enter the race. Earlier this week, Sport Witness covered updates from Italy of the Serie A side rejecting a €17m bid from the Eagles. This includes €10m in fixed fee plus €7m in bonuses. Crystal Palace won’t give up Journalist Alfredo Pedullà, who covered the London club’s initial offer, has come up with another update. He took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to report about Crystal Palace returning with a new bid. Their proposal includes €12-13m in fixed and €5-6m in easily achievable bonuses, taking the offer to €18-19m. | Serie A 2025/26 | | | | | |---|---|---|---|---| | Appearances | 15 | | | | | Started | 2 | | | | | Minutes per game | 21 | | | | | Total minutes played | 311 | | | | | Goals | 1 | | | | | Assists | 1 | | | | The journalist believes Torino president Urbano Cairo must take a firm stance not only on Alessio Cacciamani but also for the 21-year-old. The former interests AS Roma. Pedullà doesn’t mention whether the Turin club have accepted or rejected the Premier League side’s latest bid. He also doesn’t indicate or suggest Alieu Njie’s stance on moving to Selhurst Park. Torino hope to retain Njie The Sweden U21 international has three years left on his contract and his value, as per Transfermarkt, is €2.5m. The Italian club are in for a huge profit if they accept Crystal Palace’s improved offer. That seems unlikely, considering Urbano Cairo has expressed his desire to keep both Alieu Njie and Alessio Cacciamani. Saturday’s print edition of Corriere della Sera relays his comments. “There is a lot of interest in both of them, and we don’t hang up when someone calls. We’ve listened, but so far, we’ve turned down all the offers we’ve received. That’s what’s happened so far, and I’d like the situation to stay the same,” he said. Esclusiva: #Cairo deve resistere non solo per #Cacciamani (la #Roma lo ha cercato) ma anche per #Njie. Il #CrystalPalace aumenta offerta: 12-13 milioni di base fissa e 5-6 di bonus facilmente raggiungibili https://t.co/VItGYjvIh5 — Alfredo Pedullà (@AlfredoPedulla) August 7, 2026
