Crystal Palace have rejected an £18million bid from Premier League rivals Everton for winger Yannick Bolasie, according to the Guardian.
Due to Bolasie’s importance to the Eagles, they are said to be holding out for at least £30million before they’d consider selling him, although Everton will only bid up to £20million as they look to bolster their squad ahead of the new season.
Palace have shown that they have money to spend this window, having made bids of in excess of £25million for Christian Benteke and Michy Batshuayi, so they are not in a position where they have to sell anyone before making any new purchases, so there’s no reason for them to lower their asking price.
However, the arrival of Andros Townsend, added to the fact that Palace already have Wilfried Zaha, Bakary Sako and youngster Sullay KaiKai, means that Alan Pardew does have plenty of wide options so he could decide to let Bolasie go if he feels the funds would allow him to make even higher bids for a new striker.
