There's a Sky correspondent called Ballache? Apt for this one.

Well I think Simon's head is large; always involved in espionage. (Name that tune)

Ran it through Google translate. Broken English but if it's a reputable source then he's already passed the dreaded medical that seems to take days:

"NEWS SER ➡ Vicente Guaita will play at the Crystal Palace
The London team will pay 8 million euros
The Valencia takes a percentage of the transfer
The player has already passed a medical examination in London"

He know nothing. He from Barcelona.

Well spotted..looks like our 3rd signing is coming along nicely

Being reported here now, sounds like the dispute over the release fees has been cleared up, sadly not in our favor but seems we are willing to pay around 7 mill for him: [Link]

For a GK of 31 you would expect to get at least 4 or 5 years out of him if he's good enough, so in todays money that isn't a huge investment. The bigger question for me is ability not age. He does look like a very agile keeper from the clips.
