Palace could pay £20m and £4.68m-a-year in wages to sign Batshuayi

Crystal Palace are interested in Michy Batshuayi and could make a move for the 26-year-old this summer, but his asking price could prove a stumbling block in negotiations.

Despite paying £35m for Batshuayi in 2016, Chelsea value the £4.68m-a-year/£90k-per-week striker at £45m. Palace are only willing to spend £20m, however, so it remains to be seen if they’ll have success in bringing the Belgian international to Selhurst Park.

The Eagles are looking to strengthen their attack after losing Cenk Tosun for the rest of the season due to a serious knee injury.
