Multiple Italian sources claimed today that Crystal Palace had increased their proposal for Babacar to €11m, but Fiorentina turned it down.
Now Sky Sport Italia are suggesting that if Palace further improve their proposal, the 22-year-old Senegalese forward could be allowed to leave.
In that case, the Viola would go in heavy on Southampton centre-forward Pellè.
He is first choice in Antonio Conte’s Italy squad and is expected to play a key role at Euro 2016.
Pellè never really made an impact in Serie A, finding fame in Holland with AZ Alkmaar and Feyenoord, then the Premier League for the Saints.
The 30-year-old is currently out of action with a knee injury.
