Crystal Palace is monitoring OGC Nice's 22-year-old Senegalese international centre-back, Antoine Mendy, and values his athletic profile and potential for improvement. The London club believes Mendy has the physical attributes to be successful in the Premier League and, being coached by Pierre Sage, has the financial capacity to make a transfer.
There is also interest from Serie A, as Fiorentina and Udinese have inquired about the possibility of a transfer. OGC Nice is willing to sell him because the club needs to generate funds this summer and is willing to start negotiations for offers of €15 million or more. Mendy, who has 7 caps for Senegal, made 64 appearances in Ligue 1 during the 2025/2026 season, scoring one goal and providing one assist. His contract with the French club runs until June 2028, and he has a current Transfermarkt market value of €10.00m.
