Crystal Palace are due a £200,000 windfall from the loss of young winger Zion Atta to French side Nice.
The money is training compensation for the 16-year-old who was also a target for Juventus, Roma, Ajax and PSV Eindhoven, says The Sun.
The highly-rated youngster left the Eagles after being unable to agree on conditions for a new contract.
It is reported the club were reluctant to break their wage structure for an academy player with the starlet.
And it is claimed his salary demands were thought to be around £2,000 a week.
