The transfer rumour mill continues to turn at Selhurst Park, with the latest incoming link concerning American midfielder Aidan Morris. Our analysis of the past seven days shows Crystal Palace has been tied to seven possible arrivals and four potential exits. The hottest storyline right now revolves around a potential return to London for Antonio Rüdiger, but below are the latest updates on the most important transfer rumours surrounding the club.
Aidan Morris
On Saturday, it was reported that Crystal Palace is one of three Premier League clubs monitoring Middlesbrough midfielder Aidan Morris ahead of the summer. Bournemouth and Everton are also understood to be monitoring the 24-year-old United States international, who has 13 caps for his country. Morris joined Middlesbrough from Columbus Crew in the summer of 2024 for £3.2 million and has a contract until 2028, giving his club a strong negotiating position. It is suggested that Middlesbrough will face a significant challenge in retaining him if they fail to win promotion.
Pavel Šulc
Crystal Palace are interested in Lyon's 25-year-old Czechia attacking midfielder Pavel Šulc, with an update on Friday noting that other Premier League clubs are also monitoring him. Leeds United have been pursuing the player since last summer, while Aston Villa, Brentford, Brighton, Everton, Fulham, Nottingham Forest, and Bournemouth have all checked on him in recent weeks. Palace's interest is reportedly part of a possible double deal involving teammate Tyler Morton and Lyon owner John Textor.
Adam Wharton
The latest updates on Saturday regarding Adam Wharton centre on interest from Manchester United. According to transfer reporter Ben Jacobs, Manchester United have narrowed their list of midfield targets for the summer to five names, which includes Wharton.
Antonio Rüdiger
On Monday, TEAMtalk insider Graeme Bailey reported that intermediaries have been in contact with Tottenham, West Ham and Crystal Palace regarding a return to London for Antonio Rüdiger. Each club has reportedly initiated talks concerning a move for the player, who will be available on a free transfer in the summer. Bailey also learned that Rüdiger would accept a wage reduction to secure a return to England. The following day, Bailey added that the player is open to a Premier League move this summer, and that clubs in the Saudi Pro League are also interested in him.
Harry Wilson
Crystal Palace were reportedly one of the teams interested in signing Harry Wilson on a free transfer at the end of the season, according to a Saturday report. The winger's contract is due to expire, and it is currently considered unlikely that he will sign a new contract at Craven Cottage.
Jaden Philogene-Bidace
According to a report from Sports Boom on Wednesday, Crystal Palace are preparing a move for Ipswich Town's English winger Jaden Philogene-Bidace as part of a summer overhaul. Palace reportedly wants to act early due to managerial uncertainty and views the 24-year-old as an impressive Championship performer. Ipswich rejected offers of around £20 million in January and are now believed to value him at a minimum of £40 million, a figure that could rise if the club secures promotion.
Joel Ordóñez
On Monday, Bob Madou of Club Brugge revealed to Het Nieuwsblad that the club is now willing to talk to clubs about a summer transfer for Joel Ordóñez. Madou stated that if the right clubs and proposals emerge, Club Brugge will cooperate with a move. This follows a previous confirmation that Crystal Palace had offered 40 million for the defender in January.
