FC Augsburg have immediately rejected a €20million offer from Crystal Palace for Chrislain Matsima this morning.
Matsima, once linked with Bayern Munich, has already reached a full agreement with Palace over an immediate move.
The 24-year-old is still eager to make the switch to the English Premier League and sign a contract with the London club.
Should an agreement be reached, the centre-half would replace ex-Wolfsburg star Maxence Lacroix, who is joining Chelsea.
Such is the French defender's desire to join Palace this summer, Augsburg are expecting an improved offer to arrive today.
