Crystal Palace’s deal for Wolves striker Jorgen Strand Larsen is hanging in the balance.<\/p>\n

Sky Sports News<\/em> has been told that intermediaries have communicated to Wolves that Palace are ready to walk away.<\/p>\n

However, other sources close to the deal insist that is not the case, and talks remain ongoing.<\/p>\n

A deal for \u00a345m plus a potential \u00a35m in add-ons was close to being agreed earlier on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Leeds United<\/strong> remain at the table for Strand Larsen but are not currently prepared to go beyond \u00a340m for him.<\/p>\n

They are not under any pressure to sign a striker and are unlikely to move for another player in this window if Strand Larsen ends up moving to Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old’s availability was viewed as a unique opportunity in this transfer window for the long-term.<\/p>\n

Signing him at \u00a340m – which is the original value Wolves put on the striker – would be a club-record signing for Leeds, surpassing the \u00a335.5m paid for Georginio Rutter in 2023.<\/p>\n

Leeds want to structure their deal for Strand Larsen so that the fee is paid in instalments, having to be mindful of Premier League financial limitations.<\/p>\n

Strand Larsen, who was the subject of multiple rejected bids from Newcastle in the summer, has hit just six goals across all competitions this season in a struggling Wolves side.<\/p>\n

The Norway international has scored just once in the Premier League this campaign, with Wolves sitting bottom of the table and seemingly heading for the Championship.<\/p>\n

Strand Larsen scored a hat-trick earlier this month against League Two side Shrewsbury in the FA Cup third round, with his other two goals coming in the Carabao Cup.<\/p>\n

Strand Larsen, who struck 14 Premier League goals last season, wants to stay in the English top flight if he is to leave Wolves.<\/p>\n

Palace yet to respond to Forest’s Mateta bid<\/h3>\n

Sky Sports News<\/em> understands Palace are looking to sign Strand Larsen regardless of what happens with the future of their striker Jean Philippe-Mateta.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest’s<\/strong> bid for Mateta remains on the table, but Palace are yet to communicate an official response.<\/p>\n

It is thought one is unlikely to come before Palace play Forest at the City Ground on Sunday, live on Sky Sports<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Forest are prepared to pay \u00a335m to sign Mateta and are willing to offer him a significant pay rise.<\/p>\n

Mateta’s future looks increasingly likely to go down to the wire before the window closes on Monday at 7pm.<\/p>\n

Palace are currently preparing for Sunday’s game with Mateta in the squad.<\/p>\n

Relations between Palace and Forest were strained in the summer when Forest replaced Palace in the Europa League.<\/p>\n

Palace will only sell the France international if his \u00a340m valuation is met and they are happy to have both players in their squad.<\/p>\n

Mateta wants to leave Palace but has not handed in a formal transfer request. The 28-year-old has entered the final 18 months of his contract at Palace.<\/p>\n

Juventus <\/strong>and Aston Villa<\/strong> have looked at signing him, but have been put off by the asking price.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
