Crystal Palace are exploring a move to sign one Manchester United star ahead of the summer transfer window.
The Eagles will be preparing for a window in which they’ll be looking to back a new manager.
Oliver Glasner confirmed earlier in the season that he would be leaving the club in the summer, with just one game remaining in charge of the capital club (Europa Conference League final this week) before Glasner embarks on a fresh challenge.
Although Palace have been on an excellent run in Europe, their Premier League form has left a lot to be desired.
The Eagles finished in 15th place, so they will be looking to bring in reinforcements in order to improve domestically next season.

Crystal Palace Plotting Man Utd Move
According to a report from Sports Boom, Crystal Palace are one of the sides interested in making a move to sign Manchester United winger Jadon Sancho in the summer transfer window.
Sancho’s contract is set to expire this summer, and with no new offer on the table, it looks as though he will be heading through the exit door.
Sancho spent last season on loan at Aston Villa but struggled to cement himself as a guaranteed starter.
A host of clubs are showing an interest in securing his signature, including those from the Premier League, while Sancho would love to remain with Villa.
Remaining with United certainly feels unlikely for now, but it’s unclear where he could end up heading into the 2026-2027 season.
Wages Could be Issue for Palace
Although bringing in Sancho on a free transfer seems like a financially viable deal for Palace, his wages could be a major stumbling block.
Reports have claimed that Sancho is currently earning £250,000 a week at Manchester United, which would no doubt make him comfortably Palace’s highest earner.
Whether the England international would be willing to drop his wages remains to be seen, but he may be forced to if he’s going to find a move in the Premier League.
Sancho’s form over the last few years doesn’t warrant the current wages that he’s earning, and it could be a big issue for multiple clubs.
