According to the authoritative reporter Ornstein of the famous sports media The Athletic, the negotiation between the English Premier League Wolves and Crystal Palace has made a major breakthrough, and the two sides are about to reach a formal agreement on the transfer of goalkeeper Johnstone. The fee for the transfer is reportedly set at around £10 million, a figure that signifies Wolves' high recognition of Johnstone's ability and firm layout for the team's future goalkeeper position.
Wolverhampton Wanderers have not only paid a sizable transfer fee to lure Johnstone to the club, but have also offered the experienced goalkeeper a very sincere contract that will be extended until 2028. This long term contract certainly provides Johnstone with a stable career development environment, and also reflects Wolves' expectation for him to play an important role in the team in the future.
Johnstone chose to leave Crystal Palace mainly because of the tactical arrangement of the team's manager, Glasner, which cost him the starting goalkeeper position. Glasner preferred Dean Henderson to be the team's No. 1 goalkeeper and scheduled him to start and play the entirety of the first two games of the upcoming Premier League campaign. This decision has dimmed Johnstone's prospects in the team, prompting him to seek new challenges and opportunities.
With the transfer agreement between Wolves and Crystal Palace about to be finalized, Johnstone is about to start a new chapter in his career. At Wolves, he will have the opportunity to continue to prove himself in the Premier League and provide solid protection for the team's defense. For Wolves, the addition of Johnstone will undoubtedly strengthen the team's overall strength and add a guarantee for the team to achieve better results in the new season of the Premier League.
