Crystal Palace is reportedly interested in French Centre-Forward Matthis Abline, 23, and is closely monitoring his situation, but they face competition from other clubs. Following FC Nantes' relegation, a departure for the player, who is under contract until 2028, is considered likely.
Nantes has already rejected an initial offer of €15 million, excluding bonuses, from AS Monaco, indicating they are demanding a significantly higher fee. Paris FC, who were also interested last summer, remain in contention. AS Roma is another club, alongside Crystal Palace, that is following the developments. The France U21 international has 10 caps and 2 goals, and his current market value is €20.00m according to Transfermarkt. Nantes acquired Abline from Rennes in July 2024 for a reported €10 million. The club was reportedly demanding €40 million for the player in April 2026 and rejected a €30 million bid from Wolverhampton in late 2025.
