Fans of Crystal Palace have been reacting to a post on Twitter, which relays reports that Palace target Filip Kostic would now be available for just £19.2 million.
According to reports in German publication Frankfurter Rundschau, due to the financial strain the current unexpected break from football has placed on clubs, the asking price for Crystal Palace target Kostic has dropped from €40 million (£34.9 million) to €22 million (£19.2 million).
In reaction to the reports, which were relayed by CPFC News HQ on Twitter, fans of the club have flocked to have their say on the matter, with many calling for Palace chairman Steve Parish to get the deal done, while others have claimed that the potential signing of Kostic could spell the end for current Palace winger Andros Townsend. Here is how some supporters reacted to that post:

What do we think?
Kostic has been in extremely fine form for Eintracht Frankfurt so far this season, scoring four goals and providing nine assists over his 23 Bundesliga games, while averaging a remarkable WhoScored match rating of 7.55.
In addition to this, the left midfielder also has two goals and three assists from his nine Europa League fixtures, in which he has averaged a 7.47 match rating.
As such, with some highly impressive performances, as well as a reported price tag well below his £28.8 million Transfermarkt valuation, it is no surprise to see Palace fans so keen on their club making a move for Kostic this summer.
