Crystal Palace are continuing their search for a defensive midfielder after contacting Lille over a £10million move for Ibrahim Amadou.
Palace had a deal in place for Olympiakos midfielder Luka Milivojevic but that stalled on Thursday.
Sam Allardyce is desperate to strengthen his midfield, which has been short ever since Mile Jedinak was sold to Aston Villa.
Allardyce turned his attention to Milivojevic after becoming frustrated in his pursuit of Rubin Kazan's Yann M'Vila, who spent last season playing for the Palace boss when on loan to Sunderland from his Russian club side.
