Crystal Palace have confirmed the signing of Max Meyer on a free transfer.
The German midfielder has signed a three-year contract with the Eagles and he will be one of Premier League’s highest earners with wages of around £170,000 per week.
According to Daily Mail, the 22-year-old will earn £50k more than Christian Benteke.
Meyer’s contract with Schalke expired this summer and the German side failed to renew his deal. However, Palace will still pay a small compensation because of Meyer’s age.
The Bundesliga side will receive a fee of around £450,000 for his training and development.
