Riad has medical ahead of €17m Crystal Palace move

Chadi Riad has undertaken a medical ahead of completing his move to Premier League side Crystal Palace.

The defender will sign a five-year contract as part of a deal worth around €17 million, according to The Athletic.

Barcelona will have to say goodbye to Riad, who has spent the season on loan at Betis, but will take a cut of the transfer.

Diario Sport are reporting that Barcelona will take a 50% cut as well as an extra €3m from Betis who exercised their option to buy before selling Riad to Palace.

It’s a decent sum for Riad who has a good season on loan with Betis which led to rumors he could end up coming back to Barcelona.

That hasn’t happened but Riad has still managed to help his former team out by sealing a transfer for a very decent fee indeed.

Good luck in the Premier League, Chadi Riad!
