Crystal Palace has submitted an official offer to Angers to sign the young striker Sidiki Sheriff on loan for 4 million euros, including an option to buy for 12 million euros plus performance-related bonuses.

However, the French club's management categorically rejected this offer, affirming their insistence on a permanent sale only, with a financial value ranging between 25 and 30 million euros, given their conviction in his great potential and future market value.

Despite Crystal Palace's serious interest in the player, there is hesitation within the London club about proceeding with a deal of this size, especially since Sheriff is still a young striker and the winter transfer window is only halfway through.

Crystal Palace's position remains contingent on re-evaluating the deal financially and technically, while Angers continues to hold firm on its terms, awaiting an offer that meets its ambitions or interest from other clubs ready to pay.
