Valencia in Diarra talks as Man Utd, Crystal Palace make contact

Valencia are in talks with Olympique Marseille midfielder Lassana Diarra.

Los Che are pushing Diarra to drop his wage demands as they continue negotiations this week.

Manchester United and Crystal Palace, says Fichajes.com, are also in contact, along with several Chinese clubs.

Last week, a Belgian court has ruled FIFA and the Royal Belgian Football Association (KBVB) share the blame for Lassana Diarra's transfer to Charleroi falling through in 2015 and must now pay the midfielder €6 million.

The court in Charleroi ruled FIFA had infringed EU law concerning the freedom of movement by stating that any club that signed Diarra could be jointly liable with the Frenchman to pay the €10m fine he owes Lokomotiv Moscow.
