Transfer Rumors: Active Market Interest

The transfer market for Crystal Palace, as reported by @PalaceReport. Key developments include:

- Eberechi Eze: Arsenal has made contact with Eze’s camp over the weekend, with Tottenham also showing keen interest. This suggests a potential high-profile departure, which could affect Palace’s attacking options.

- Marc Guehi: Liverpool are in talks for the England defender, but negotiations are complicated by Palace’s £45m-£50m valuation. Liverpool is considering a swap deal involving young winger Ben Doak, though they are pushing for a lower price, indicating a contentious negotiation.

- New Targets: Palace is eyeing Middlesbrough’s Hayden Hackney, valued at £15m, and Rav van den Berg, following the Under-21 European Championship. Additionally, there is interest in Club Brugge’s Antonio Nusa and Brazilian centre-back Igor Julio, with clubs like Real Sociedad, Leeds, and Wolves also in the race for Julio.

These rumours, sourced from journalists like @FabrizioRomano, @JacobsBen, and @garystonehouse, highlight Palace’s ambition to strengthen their squad, particularly in defense and midfield, ahead of the new season.

Europa League Update:

Uefa have postponed their decision on whether Crystal Palace will be allowed to play in Europe next season until Lyon's appeal against relegation has been heard.

Palace have good relations with UEFA and it would appear that UEFA have accepted that Textor does not have decisive influence over the way Palace are run.

Lyon owner John Textor’s departure from Crystal Palace has been confirmed officially on the British Government website, Companies House. The American businessman has sold his stake in the Premier League club to fellow American Woody Johnson. This could indicate that the sale has gained Premier League approval. 

- Joel Ward: Today, June 30, 2025, marks the last official day of Joel Ward’s contract with Crystal Palace, signaling the end of his tenure. Fans are encouraged to share memorable moments of Ward, reflecting his impact on the club.

- Loan Moves: There is interest from Stevenage FC and Motherwell in academy star Ademola Ola-Adebomi, with options also in other European leagues and the EFL. Similarly, Leyton Orient wants young midfielder Hindolo Mustapha on loan for the season, indicating Palace’s strategy to develop talent through loan spells.

These movements, reported by @DanielMarsh92 and @reluctantnicko, suggest a focus on youth development and squad management.
