Crystal Palace moves: Sage exit reaction and transfer targets
Crystal Palace and Fulham are in direct contact to sign a La Liga defender, with both clubs set to battle for his signature this summer.
Chadi Riad says ‘Crystal Palace have no limits’ after the club won the FA Cup, Community Shield and UEFA Conference League, praising the squad’s work ethic and targeting more trophies.
Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest are chasing Celtic’s Arne Engels, who is valued at over €25m. Palace aim to convince the 22-year-old to pick them over Forest, who view him as a potential Elliot Anderson replacement. Engels recorded 7 goals and 8 assists in 46 matches.
Matheus França’s loan at Vasco failed to take off, but former coach Fernando Diniz now wants him at Corinthians. Palace are expected to seek another loan and there are no talks underway yet.
Crystal Palace lead Leeds, Everton and Fulham in the race for AJ Auxerre striker Lassine Sinayoko. The Mali international scored 12 goals and made 4 assists in Ligue 1 last season and is open to a move, while Auxerre want over €15m.
Lens chief Benjamin Parrot says there is ‘no acrimony, no anger’ after Pierre Sage left for Crystal Palace. Lens have appointed Dino Toppmoller to replace him after a season that brought second place in Ligue 1 and the Coupe de France.
