The Norway international is still technically on loan at the Turkish Super Lig club from Crystal Palace, but have an option to buy him for €6m (£5m).

With that in mind, Palace fans have been left in disbelief by this latest report.

In his final season at Selhurst Park, Sorloth didn't manage a single Premier League start, being limited to 12 substitute appearances, recording no goals or assists during that time.

However, he has had a complete turnaround of fortunes at Trabzonspor, and has made 22 starts in the league so far, with a very impressive return of 19 goals and six assists.

Did he really play for us?! No Palace fan has managed to name all of these obscure Eagles signings....

That form has led to the offer from Spanish giants Real Madrid, with one fan simply saying that they have "no words".

There are other fans who have seen the funny side of the situation, with one claiming that seeing the deal go through would be "hilarious and soul-crushing at the same time".

Another has suggested that "you couldn't get any more Palace than this", as they could essentially be losing €44m (£37m) to Trabzonspor because of the clause.

Fans are simply shocked by the fee involved, as it turns out the club could come to massively regret their decision regarding the Norwegian.

Meanwhile, one Palace man's performance against Newcastle has received praise.
