AliousIn a surprising twist, ABC Sevilla’s Tuesday morning prediction about Chadi Riad’s imminent medicals ahead of his Crystal Palace move appears to be accurate. The player has reportedly touched down in London, ready to take the next steps for his anticipated transfer.
According to El Chiringuito, the player is set to undergo his medicals with Crystal Palace on Wednesday. Following the successful completion of these medicals, Riad is expected to officially sign with the Eagles.
Despite still being officially under Barcelona’s ownership, Betis, who previously loaned Riad for the season, are in the process of purchasing him before selling him to Crystal Palace.
Reports from Spanish media suggest that the green and white club is paying Barcelona €3m for Riad’s signing, having negotiated a deal with Crystal Palace for €16m. Betis is set to receive 50% of the profit and transfer it to Barcelona, thus earning less from the sale.
Although the deal may appear convoluted, the reality is that Crystal Palace has managed to expedite the deal, ensuring Riad’s imminent arrival at Selhurst Park will soon become official.
