Crystal Palace will be concerned as one target this summer may soon prove too expensive as his price tag has risen substantially.
For Crystal Palace, it already seems as though transfer work is being done for potential big money sales this summer.
This would be a wise thing to do, with all three of Michael Olise, Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi all being linked with moves elsewhere.
So to see the links being drawn to potential successors to these current stars is encouraging and shows that Dougie Freedman and the decision-makers are forward planning.
We even saw in January that Palace were keen to strengthen likely with the long-term vision that certain players may depart.
Now the value of one target has skyrocketed.

Matias Soule’s transfer value has exploded over the past few months
The player that Palace have wanted now for the best part of this season is Argentinian talent, Matias Soule.
He seems to be the man that Palace have identified as the ideal replacement for Olise should the Frenchman depart, with a bid even being submitted in January.
But now according to CIES, the value of Soule has increased by 216% over the past half-season, which is a pretty significant increase.
This sees him now worth £16.2m which would actually be a bargain should Freedman be able to somehow sign him for that price.
This is because Palace are said to have been quoted £37m for the winger, although even then he might be worth it.
Here’s why he’d be worth every penny…

Is Matias Soule worth Crystal Palace splashing the cash on?
If Olise is to depart this summer, it’ll take quite a player to replace his influence this summer.
From his stats this season, it’s clear that Soule could be that player for Oliver Glasner.

From this, it seems clear to us that Soule is one of the best attackers in Serie A this season, and if he had better teammates, he could find himself even better.
His crossing and chances created could create a tantalising partnership with Jean-Philippe Mateta who’s been lethal recently.
