Sport Witness have covered how the Eagles are firmly involved in the race, along with Salzburg. The Austrian club have had an agreement over personal terms with the Swede but their offer hasn’t proved good enough. Pierre Sage’s side were believed to be offering a package worth €20m, not enough for Torino. More is now emerging from Italy about the 21-year-old. New bid could arrive TuttoSport explain Njie wasn’t part of Torino’s squad for their Coppa Italia clash against Carrarese on Saturday. Officially, this is down to muscle fatigue. The newspaper feel the real reasons pertain to a transfer, as Njie did train earlier this week. Further, the newspaper clarify that Salzburg do have an agreement over a five-year deal with the attacker. Their offer to Torino hasn’t gone beyond €11m plus €2m in bonuses. Even if they’ve handed them a sell-on percentage, the Italian side’s demand stands at between €16m and €18m. Discussions for his sale will continue and another offer from Crystal Palace is ‘not ruled out’. So far, the Eagles have offered a package worth €18m. This includes a loan fee of €2m and a conditional obligation to buy of €8m, and bonuses of €8m too. This hasn’t left Torino impressed, who would much rather sell the player permanently. As a result, the situation hangs in the balance and everything can come down to the London club.
