Strand Larsen, who could play in the 2026 World Cup for Norway, had been playing for Wolverhampton for a year and a half, the current bottom team in the Premier League.

“Crystal Palace is pleased to announce the signing of Jorgen Strand Larsen from Wolverhampton Wanderers, in a club record transfer,” stated the South London team, without specifying the value of the deal.

According to the British press, Palace is believed to have paid around 43 million pounds (R$ 310 million) to sign the Norwegian player.

The club also planned to transfer its French striker Jean-Philippe Mateta to Milan, but the deal was canceled by the Italian team for medical reasons after examinations were carried out.

Strand Larsen, 25, scored only one goal in 22 English Championship matches, in a disastrous start to the season for Wolverhampton. He had been much more efficient in the previous season, when he scored 14 goals.
