Las Palmas are bracing themselves for another assault by Palermo next week for the services of star striker Sergio Araujo.

The 23-year-old Argentinian youth international had a superb season for the Canary Island outfit on loan from Boca Juniors, with his 25 goals shooting them up to promotion to La Liga this season.

The newly-promoted side managed to buy the player outright and sign him to a new five-year deal last month, but are aware he could still leave if a big enough offer arrives.

La Gazzetta dello Sport reveal that Palermo made tentative inquiries last week for Araujo, but were told to come back with at least 18 million if they want to sign the player.

Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini is only willing to go up to 15 million, so is scheduling to fly to Spain himself to try and personally work out a deal.

The Rosanero see Araujo as the perfect replacement for Paulo Dybala, who completed a move to champions Juventus earlier this summer.
