Crystal Palace are closing on a deal for Atalanta wing-back Timothy Castagne.
Negotiations are now at an advanced stage over a 20m move to Palace.
The Orobici had not wanted to sell the Belgian, but if the bid is improved with bonuses to reach 25m, then a deal can be done.
Sportitalia transfer expert Alfredo Pedull reports talks are progressing well and there could be a breakthrough next week.
Castagne, 23, can play at fullback and in midfield.
