Crystal Palace has been linked with a new target, Eintracht Frankfurt's Farès Chaïbi, in the latest transfer window developments. Our analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 17 possible arrivals and 5 potential exits. The items below represent the latest news on the most important transfer rumours, though the hottest storyline right now is about Dwight McNeil.
Farès Chaïbi
On Friday, it was reported that Crystal Palace is interested in signing Eintracht Frankfurt midfielder Farès Chaïbi, with a concrete offer expected soon. The Algerian international, who is also linked with FC Brentford and Aston Villa, is under contract until 2028. He joined Frankfurt for a reported fee of €10 million, and reports from March 2026 suggested an asking price between €40 million and €46 million.
Tiago Gabriel
Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, and Benfica are among the clubs linked with 21-year-old Lecce defender Tiago Gabriel as of Thursday. Lecce values the player at around 30 million, and it is reported that the club rejected a €20 million offer from Benfica and a bid from Brentford. The club's sporting director, Trinchera, stated that while there have been numerous expressions of interest, there have been no negotiations as of yet.
Lamine Camara
The latest update on Wednesday, according to Foot Mercato, is that Filipe Luis wants to keep Lamine Camara. This followed a report from Pete O’Rourke on Wednesday that Monaco had rejected a €50m offer from Crystal Palace for the midfielder. On Sunday, a report from Nice Matin stated the French club will only sell the player if an offer of €60 million is made, while Crystal Palace have reportedly offered €50 million.
Anan Khalaili
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano on Friday, the transfer of Anan Khalaili from Union Saint-Gilloise to Crystal Palace is now completely finalized. Crystal Palace is paying a base fee of 24.5 million euros, which can increase further through bonuses, making Khalaili the most expensive outgoing transfer in Union's club history. Romano also reported that the deal, valued at 25 million euros plus bonuses, was able to proceed after Khalaili passed medical checks with Crystal Palace, where regulations are less strict than in Italy, where a previous move to Inter had failed.
Youssouf Fofana
On Friday, Tuttomercato reported that Ruben Amorim has approved the sale of Youssouf Fofana, with a valuation of 15-20 million. Crystal Palace have expressed interest, and while the player insists on staying, Milan seems determined to sell. Earlier in the week, on Monday, journalist Matteo Moretto stated that AC Milan had requested Fofana find a new team, and Foot Mercato reported that Crystal Palace has made a contract offer to the player.
Axel Disasi
According to Sky Sports on Thursday, Chelsea wants to permanently sell Axel Disasi this summer and is asking for a fee of almost 30 million euros. On Wednesday, it was reported that discussions have taken place between executives at Crystal Palace and Chelsea. Chelsea is currently asking for 5 million euros for a dry loan for the player, a sum Crystal Palace considers excessive, and new negotiations were planned to find an agreement.
Imrân Louza
An update on Wednesday noted that Como are also pursuing midfielder Imrân Louza, which makes the pursuit more difficult for Crystal Palace. Previously, it was reported that Crystal Palace had inquired about a potential transfer for the 27-year-old Watford midfielder, who is valued at approximately €10 million.
