According to an exclusive report from the Palace Way, Crystal Palace have begun talks to capture Leeds United attacker Luis Sinisterra this summer.
On Monday (28 August), the news outlet covering all happenings in and around Selhurst Park said that the move considered was an initial loan with the option to buy.
The London club expects to be busy in the last days of the transfer season, but they aim to complete the deal for the 24-year-old Leeds forward.
Certainly not.
Leeds cannot afford to allow Sinisterra depart on loan with only three days left in the transfer window and not receive a reasonable transfer fee.
They could have planned for his successor if he had departed two or three weeks ago, and the fact that he was reintegrated into the squad says that he is more likely to stay.
The Whites must reject this offer unless the Colombian submits a transfer request and Palace is willing to pay at least what Leeds paid to bring him to Elland Road in the first place.
He joined Leeds for £21 million last summer, and despite an injury-plagued season, he proved his worth to the club’s fans and managers.
Anything less seems implausible, and a loan with an option to buy but no commitment to do so only favours Palace.
Leeds, while being a Premier League club, cannot be pushed into this contract simply because they were relegated last season.
