Crystal Palace<\/a> and Leeds United<\/a> have been given an update on Jorgen Strand Larsen<\/a> after news emerged that his move to Selhurst Park is under threat.<\/p>\n

Palace’s move for the Wolves striker is hanging precariously in the balance after intermediaries communicated the Eagles’ readiness to walk away from the deal.<\/p>\n

The dramatic development emerged this evening, breathing fresh life into Leeds’ pursuit of the Norwegian international just days before Monday’s transfer deadline.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, Palace appeared firmly in pole position to land the 25-year-old in a deal worth \u00a345 million plus \u00a35 million in add-ons<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Reports revealed advanced discussions regarding both fee structure and personal terms, with Palace seemingly outbidding Leeds’ \u00a340 million ceiling.<\/p>\n

Daniel Farke’s side have pursued Strand Larsen aggressively throughout January, but refused to exceed their valuation despite Wolves rejecting multiple approaches.<\/p>\n

The player himself reportedly favoured the Elland Road switch, with his agent, a boyhood Leeds supporter, also eager to facilitate the move.<\/p>\n

The Eagles have made a move for a centre-forward.<\/p>\n

Palace’s hesitation could stem from complications surrounding Jean-Philippe Mateta’s exit.<\/p>\n

The Eagles require Strand Larsen as a direct replacement for the France international, who’s been seeking a departure from Selhurst Park all month.<\/p>\n

Forest’s \u00a335 million bid falls \u00a35 million short of Palace’s asking price, whilst AC Milan’s reported interest threatens to hijack the deal<\/a> entirely.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Palace secured Evann Guessand on loan from Aston Villa today, potentially reducing their urgency for Strand Larsen.<\/p>\n

Financial considerations may also feature prominently. The proposed \u00a350 million package represents a substantial outlay in what would be a club-record deal for the south Londoners.<\/p>\n

For Leeds, Palace’s potential withdrawal would prove transformative.<\/p>\n

Strand Larsen scored 14 goals and racked up five assists last season, with six strikes this campaign demonstrating his quality despite Wolves’ relegation struggles.<\/p>\n

His arrival could ignite the Whites, and it appears the race could be well and truly on.<\/p>\n

However, according to Sky Sports reporter James Savundra on the Transfer Show, all hope for Palace isn’t lost yet.<\/p>\n

Crystal Palace and Leeds given Jorgen Strand Larsen update after major deal twist<\/p>\n

Savundra, speaking to ‘separate sources’ this evening, says that Palace and Wolves talks remain ongoing, despite intermediaries threatening the Molineux side with a pull out of negotiations.<\/p>\n

“We understand that the deal hangs in the balance. Intermediaries are believed to have communicated to Wolves that Crystal Palace are threatening to walk away from this deal,” Savundra said.<\/p>\n

“However, separately, I’ve been told by separate sources that’s not the case, and talks are ongoing. So things do remain unclear and in the balance right now.”<\/p>\n

The Strand Larsen saga carries enormous implications for both clubs’ contrasting ambitions.<\/p>\n

For Leeds, securing him would transform their prospects during a crucial Premier League run-in where firepower will prove decisive.<\/p>\n

Farke desperately needs goals to fire his side further away from the relegation battle, and Strand Larsen’s 14-goal haul last season demonstrates proven Premier League quality.<\/p>\n

Palace face different pressures.<\/p>\n

Losing Mateta without an adequate replacement would devastate Oliver Glasner’s already-fragile squad following Guehi’s departure, with the Londoners in need of more inspiration.<\/p>\n

Indeed, their European ambitions, not to mention Palace’s quest to rediscover form, could depend on adding another proven attacking option after Guessand and Brennan Johnson.<\/p>\n
