Crystal Palace has shown interest in Neil El Aynaoui, joining Everton and Roma in the race. Lens manager Pierre Sage confirmed that El Aynaoui is not close to leaving, but his future is open. Lens will not accept an offer below €30million. El Aynaoui, a key player for Lens, made 24 Ligue 1 appearances last season, scoring eight goals. Despite a verbal agreement with Roma until 2030, Everton and Crystal Palace have recently inquired about his status. Lens, with El Aynaoui under contract until 2027, are in a strong negotiating position and under no pressure to sell.
