Crystal Palace remain open to the possibility of re-signing forward Evan Guessand after the expiration of his option-to-buy agreement. According to Sky Sports, the club holds a favorable view of the striker and is considering bringing him back to Selhurst Park.
In a related development, Inter Milan have withdrawn from pursuing midfielder Anan Khalaili following a failed medical due to an irregular heart rhythm. This setback has reopened interest from English clubs, including Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, and Crystal Palace. While Inter had previously agreed on a €32 million fee, any future transfer is expected to fall below that valuation.
Transfer Market Maneuvers
Chelsea have increased their offer for defender Maxence Lacroix to approximately £52 million, yet Crystal Palace are holding firm, seeking a minimum of £55 million. Club owner Steve Parish is reportedly using the recent £52 million transfer of Jan Paul van Hecke as a valuation benchmark. Lacroix himself is eager to make the move, while Arsenal continue to observe the situation but have yet to submit a formal bid.
With multiple transfer negotiations underway, Crystal Palace are actively managing their squad options, balancing player departures and potential returns as the summer window progresses.
