Crystal Palace are in the news with fresh transfer links, most notably with Paris Saint-Germain forward Randal Kolo Muani. An analysis of the past seven days shows the club has been tied to 10 possible arrivals and 6 potential exits, with the hottest storyline right now concerning Dwight McNeil. The following is a roundup of the latest news on the most significant transfer rumours surrounding the club.
Randal Kolo Muani
On Wednesday, it was reported that Paris Saint-Germain has opened discussions with other clubs for Randal Kolo Muani after negotiations with Juventus stalled. Premier League sides Crystal Palace and Aston Villa, along with Borussia Dortmund, are now said to be interested in the French international. Kolo Muani joined PSG from Eintracht Frankfurt in September 2023 for a reported fee of €95 million and has a contract with the club until 2028.
Arthur Theate
It was reported on Wednesday that Crystal Palace are interested in Eintracht Frankfurt defender Arthur Theate, who is seeking a move. The German club is reportedly asking for a fee between €20 and €25 million for the player. Nottingham Forest, AFC Bournemouth, and FC Bologna are also showing interest in Theate.
Adam Wharton
According to journalist David Lynch on Wednesday, Liverpool have been told a deal for Adam Wharton is possible if they decide to proceed with his signing from Crystal Palace, though it would first require approval from the club. Lynch added that while it is unclear whether Liverpool consider the long-term target a good fit for Iraola football, a deal can be made. This followed a Monday report from journalist Danny Gallagher, who stated that Liverpool have a plan to sign the midfielder which involves a swap deal. Gallagher reported on X that Liverpool are willing to sell Harvey Elliott to Palace as part of an agreement and are looking into the logistics of such a move. He also noted that the situation could progress rapidly if all parties agree, despite Iraola still wanting to assess whether an exit is necessary. Separately, sources have told TEAMtalk that Palace want £70m for Wharton.
Maxence Lacroix
On Tuesday, Si Phillips reported that Chelsea still want Crystal Palace centre-back Maxence Lacroix but must sell players before submitting a new offer. The Eagles reportedly want around $80 million (£60 million). Also on Tuesday, Fabrizio Romano stated that Chelsea are continuing transfer contacts for the central defender and are making efforts to complete a deal. The French newspaper L’Equipe has stated that a €55m (£47m) agreement could already be nearly finalized, though Romano noted that patience would be needed as Palace only sells when the deal is right.
Alexis Vossah
Crystal Palace are reportedly one of several Premier League clubs interested in Toulouse midfielder Alexis Vossah, according to a report on Monday. Both Crystal Palace and Manchester United have contacted the player's representatives. Chelsea had an offer of approximately eight million euros rejected last summer. Vossah is under contract with Toulouse until 2028, and the club would reportedly require a transfer fee of approximately 25 million euros.
Harvey Elliott
According to a Monday report from journalist Danny Gallagher, Liverpool are exploring a deal that would see Harvey Elliott move to Crystal Palace as part of an agreement for Adam Wharton. Gallagher stated that Liverpool are looking into the logistics of the move. It was also reported that the situation could move quickly if all parties agree, although Iraola still wants to assess whether an exit is necessary.
Trevoh Chalobah
A report from talkSPORT on Sunday stated that Chelsea are willing to offer Trevoh Chalobah to Crystal Palace as part of their efforts to sign Maxence Lacroix. This followed a report from 90min on Friday, which suggested Chalobah could potentially depart from Chelsea, with Inter or Crystal Palace named as possible destinations.
