Crystal Palace will need to pay at least €15 million to lure Fabio Borini away from AC Milan, according to a report from Calciomercato.
The Eagles were linked with a possible move for the former Liverpool striker earlier on Sunday, and other claims from Italy indicate that they will not be able to recruit him in a cut-price deal.
Borini was involved 20 times in Serie A fixtures for Milan last season but was hardly productive in front of goal, netting just twice and assisting his teammates only once.
However, interest in securing his signature this summer appears to be gathering, with Palace and newly-promoted Premier League outfit Aston Villa understood by Calciomercato to be in the race.
Roy Hodgson’s side have reportedly enquired about Borini’s current situation at Milan, with numerous first-team players said to be set for exits.
The one-time Italy international has experience of playing in English football following spells with Chelsea, Swansea City, Liverpool and Sunderland.
