Fulham and Crystal Palace reaches £30 million deal for Andersen
For Crystal Palace, the final two weeks of the summer transfer window will be critical since any moves made by the club could have a big effect on its future.
Joachim Andersen's signing with Fulham and Crystal Palace has been agreed upon in principle. A settlement has been reached after several offers, with a price of about £30 million including add-ons. The 28-year-old center back for Denmark's national team is now being finalized by all parties involved in the deal.
The west London team has been looking to add more center backs after Tim Ream and Tosin Adarabioyo left for Charlotte FC and Chelsea, respectively.
The remaining two weeks of the summer transfer market will be crucial for Crystal Palace, as any departures and arrivals might have a significant impact on the club's future.
Prior to the Premier League season, the Eagles have been quite active, bringing in players like Chadi Riad, Daichi Kamada, and Ismaila Sarr to Selhurst Park.
The team suffered a significant loss when Michael Olise joined Bayern Munich, one of several significant departures that were planned. There have been ongoing rumors about Marc Guehi going to Newcastle, Eberechi Eze's future, and a possible departure from Copers Cope. Then there's Joachim Andersen's future, who has been linked to a transfer to Fulham because he only has two years left.
Andersen played in 31 games during Fulham's 2020–21 Premier League season while on loan from Lyon. The club was relegated. The summer of 2021 saw the Denmark international join Palace from Lyon for a reported cost of around €22 million (£18.8 million). He has enjoyed stints with FC Twente and Sampdoria before that. Andersen has made 112 appearances for Palace in all competitions and netted three goals. As the team achieved their joint-highest Premier League finish under new manager Oliver Glasner last season, he was a crucial player, starting all 38 games.
