Palace May Walk Away From Strand Larsen Deal, £50m Move “In Danger of Collapse”

Crystal Palace
January 2026

Palace’s planned £50m move for Strand Larsen is reportedly close to collapsing, despite an agreed framework, with Palace signalling they could pull out. Wolves are not under pressure to sell and cite the striker’s attitude and focus; Strand Larsen’s output has dropped this season amid Wolves being bottom, which is part of the risk profile for Palace’s spend.
