Crystal Palace weigh moves for Openda, Irié and Arnau Martinez
Palace eye Freiburg winger Cyriaque Irié, with Lens, Marseille, Nice and Lille interested. A loan is possible. Pierre Sage’s move from Lens to Palace may be driving the pursuit.
Palace and Fulham target Girona captain Arnau Martinez, available via €8m clause. The 23-year-old versatile full-back has captained the side and has Champions League experience after Girona’s relegation.
On this day in 2014, Mile Jedinak scored a penalty for Australia vs Netherlands, becoming the first active Crystal Palace player to net at a World Cup finals.
Brighton away picked out as a key fixture. Palace won 3-1 there in 2024 and 1-0 last season, with Ismaïla Sarr scoring three across those trips. Unbeaten in four against Albion.
Palace join Aston Villa and Newcastle for Real Sociedad keeper Álex Remiro. Villa show ‘most interest’ amid Emiliano Martínez uncertainty. Price touted around €8-15m, with no talks opened yet.
Palace hold preliminary talks over Juventus striker Lois Openda, with Everton and Leeds also keen. Juve open to flexible loan. Pierre Sage admires his profile but €7.4m wages could be a hurdle.
