# Crystal Palace: Eagles keen on Sasa Lukic

**Crystal Palace are interested in Torino midfielder Sasa Lukic, according to [Gianluca Di Marzio](https://gianlucadimarzio.com/it/calciomercato-torino-lukic-crystal-palace-spartak-mosca-4-giugno-2021), as cited by [Sport Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/crystal-palace-moved-major-insistence-midfielder-player-currently-evaluating-possibilities/).**

### The Lowdown: Lukic profiled

Lukic can play as a [defensive, central or attacking midfielder](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sasa-lukic/profil/spieler/245056) and has [18](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sasa-lukic/profil/spieler/245056) caps to his name for Serbia.

The 24-year-old has made [113](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sasa-lukic/leistungsdaten/spieler/245056) appearances for Torino after joining from [Partizan Belgrade in 2016 for £1.53m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sasa-lukic/transfers/spieler/245056). He spent time out on loan at [Levante](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sasa-lukic/transfers/spieler/245056) during the 2017/18 season and is currently valued at £4.5m by [Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sasa-lukic/marktwertverlauf/spieler/245056), the [highest valuation of his career](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sasa-lukic/marktwertverlauf/spieler/245056).

Lukic was a regular in Serie A last season, making [32](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sasa-lukic/leistungsdaten/spieler/245056) appearances mainly as a central and attacking midfielder, and it seems as if his displays have caught the eye at Selhurst Park.

### The Latest: Palace ‘moved with major insistence’

According to the [report](https://sportwitness.co.uk/crystal-palace-moved-major-insistence-midfielder-player-currently-evaluating-possibilities/), Lukic has ‘many suitors abroad’, one of which appears to be Palace. The Eagles and Spartak Moscow have ‘moved with major insistence’ for the midfielder, and both destinations reportedly appeal to the player.

Lukic, who is on [£13,000 per week](https://salarysport.com/football/player/sasa-lukic/), is under contract with his current employers until [2024](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sasa-lukic/profil/spieler/245056).

### The Verdict: A smart target?

Palace, who are still without a manager, appear to be in line for major changes on the pitch as well as off it. The Eagles have [11](https://www.premierleague.com/news/2163104) senior players on their initial release list, [published by the Premier League](https://www.premierleague.com/news/2163104) in recent days.

One man included was [James McCarthy](https://www.premierleague.com/news/2163104), and should he depart, Palace would be left with just [four senior central midfield options on the books](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/crystal-palace/kader/verein/873). Attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze is one of those, but he’s out until next year with a [long-term Achilles injury](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11706/12310681/eberechi-eze-crystal-palace-player-potentially-out-injured-until-new-year-with-achilles-injury).

It appears as if central midfield reinforcements could be needed for the Eagles, and bringing in Lukic – who can play in all kinds of midfield roles – may be a smart move by the south London club.
