Now being discussed on Talk Sport, he doesn’t have a buyout clause, but a clause that if a certain figure is offered, he is able to talk to them. This gives Palace to opportunity to set the transfer fee, they want.
Which sort of makes a bit of sense of Chelsea’s £39m offer.

Matt Woosnam says that there is a buyout clause and it's well known that he is Parish's mouthpiece

The battle of the ITK sources. ! Woosnem says yes and TLk Sport Cross’s sources at Palace say no.
I wonder what the man from Delmonte says?

If there is a buyout clause 35m or 50m, then there is not much we can do about it.

This could be beneficial to us though.
1. let Chelsea or whoever activate the buy out clause
2. we get guaranteed fee
3. olise isn't available until Oct at the earliest
4. no guarantee he won't break down again with that injury.

Take the money and get in replacement(s) who are ready for August.

At least it is all straight forward then

If we have to sell, then I hope it’s to City and with a loan back to us for this season. Oh, and for £50m at least assuming no clause and using the Brighton/Caicedo fee methodology.

If to Chelsea, they still need to shed players but I’m struggling to see any of interest that I think they would be prepared to trade.
