moore_94 Posted 22 August 2023 Share Posted 22 August 2023 https://www.standard.co.uk/sport/football/crystal-palace-iheanacho-mateta-transfer-news-b1102215.html Crystal Palace will make a move for Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho should Jean-Philippe Mateta leave this summer. Iheanacho, 26, is deemed important to relegated Leicester's bid to return to the Premier League but Roy Hodgson has made him one of his top transfer targets. The Foxes do not want to lose Iheanacho, but Palace know he will be available on a cut-price deal with his contract set to expire next summer. Hodgson is desperate to add goals to his frontline after club legend Wilfried Zaha departed for Galatasaray, and knows Mateta is ready to explore a move away with both Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig interested. Leipzig have had two offers rejected, the first a loan bid and then a £7million offer to sign Mateta permanently. Matata failed to make Palace's squad for the 1-0 defeat at home to Arsenal on Monday night. Hodgson is also keen to sign a new goalkeeper after a falling out with long-time no1 Vicente Guaita. The 36-year-old is accused of "refusing to play" by Hodgson but sources close to the player deny this version of events. Manchester United's Dean Henderson and Leicester's Daniel Iversen are both considered options. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryy Posted 22 August 2023 Share Posted 22 August 2023 As much as I love Kele he’s only got a year left and if neither him/the club are open to a new deal we have to accept 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we don't want to lose him, why would we let him go on a 'cut price deal'? We may as well keep him for a year and let him run his contract down... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesta2014 Posted 22 August 2023 Share Posted 22 August 2023 Surely if he leaves means we have a striker lined up, Daka not fancied would leave us only Vardy up top? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kingkisnorbo Posted 22 August 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 22 August 2023 Need to have a replacement on the table in any case of a sale. Vardy and Daka just ain't it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Earle Posted 22 August 2023 Share Posted 22 August 2023 I really wouldn't sell him unless silly money were being bandied about. There's been no sign so far of Vardy being suited to Maresca-ball, and if he isn't, Daka won't be. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pliskin Posted 22 August 2023 Share Posted 22 August 2023 Joel Piroe will end up here by September the 1st…. But can we function with just one striker, and Vardy as a back up? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we will have 2 or 3 the manager has agreed on and would be lined up if we got that kind of money in- with 1yr left on his contract no way we turn down that amount- they then take the chance they can get someone in quickly- only a week ago when linekarlugs said the gaffer wasnt having ihenacho at all- doubt that has massively changed but has no choice but to play him as best we have - im sure he would much rather have his own man in if we can get £10m for kel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indierich06 Posted 22 August 2023 Share Posted 22 August 2023 Love Kel, but if they come up with anything like £15m then he will be gone. Would be a brilliant signing for them too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingpower Posted 22 August 2023 Share Posted 22 August 2023 if we sell both Ian and and Daka then we'll need 2 strikers to come in as no-one from the U'21s is knocking on the door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DezFox Posted 22 August 2023 Share Posted 22 August 2023 I mean , seems a long way off. They might be interested if one for their strikers might leave. Pinch of salt in its current state. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lcfcokay Posted 22 August 2023 Share Posted 22 August 2023 I wouldn’t panic. We will get a decent fee. Adams is going Everton for 15 with one year left, like nacho. Nacho is twice the player. He won’t be allowed to leave unless we have targets secured and signed off by maresca. Issue is we still need to replace Daka, who doesn’t fit the system.

Popular Post FoxinNotts Posted 22 August 2023 Popular Post Share Posted 22 August 2023 As it stands, during the Afcon period, we’d be overly reliant on Vardy. That’s not acceptable 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post moore_94 Posted 22 August 2023 Author Popular Post Share Posted 22 August 2023 For me selling him depends on whether he is willing to sign a new contract or not - and that needs to be sorted now, not January or next summer when another club can come in and get him for nothing Either he signs a new deal or we sell him and get someone who wants to be here for the long term and would offer the opportunity for future profit We can’t keep letting players we can actually get money for leave for nothing If they offer £15-20m, which we should absolutely be able to get when Che Adams who also has 1 year is going for similar, and then go and get someone like Piroe 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chances of our recruitment team doing something logical is the challenge, they will probably ''spunk it'' on Danny Ings and a 6 pack of Nice n Spicy Nik Naks. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sideshow Faes Posted 22 August 2023 Share Posted 22 August 2023 He's yet to score in the league. If we get an offer of £15m+ and he won't sign a new contract then we let him go and bring in one or two forwards that can play our system in this division.

Finding 2 strikers in 10 days may not be easy great point. £15m minimum for Nacho based on the Adams deal. I'm pretty sure the club won't be able to refuse that given in last year of contract. I'm also sure that Enzo will have a long list of suitable fits should the scenario where we lose both Nacho and Daka play out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
