Italian transfer guru Fabrizio Romano exclusively revealed to GIVEMESPORT that he expects Sam Johnstone to leave Crystal Palace by the end of the transfer window amid interest from Bournemouth, Southampton, Wolves and Leicester City.
The England international is believed to have expressed his desire to leave Selhurst Park after falling behind fellow Manchester United alumni Dean Henderson for the spot as number one goalkeeper.
With numerous Premier League clubs believed to be interested in his services, the likelihood of the 31-year-old’s departure has continued to grow. Now, Romano has given his take on the situation, stating that Johnstone’s future may depend on other dominos falling, but that he predicts the Englishman won’t be a Palace player by the time the window shuts.
Speculation over Ramsdale’s future has also been rife, with both Wolves and Southampton believed to have tabled offers to take the former Sheffield United shot-stopper on loan.
With a valuation of around £10m, it is believed that two of the Premier League’s new boys have serious interest in bringing someone in between the sticks with the pedigree that Johnstone offers. Leicester City and Russell Martin’s Saints have emerged as leading contenders in the race to sign the England international.
