Crystal Palace are reportedly keeping a close eye on the situation of OGC Nice’s Antoine Mendy (22), according to Foot Mercato .
The Eagles, for whom Ligue 1 has become a favourite transfer market, are said to have been impressed by the profile of the Senegalese defender, who has seven international caps. However, if the London club wishes to secure his services, it will have to contend with competition from Italy, as Fiorentina and Udinese are reportedly already in the running for Mendy.
This is a windfall for the Nice board, which is under pressure to replenish its coffers this summer and could capitalise on a bidding war between several suitors to secure tens of millions from the deal. To achieve this, the club is said to be valuing the player at a minimum of €15m.
A product of the Nice youth academy, Mendy has now established himself as a key member of the first-team squad. Having made 40 appearances across all competitions last season, he started 24 of the 25 Ligue 1 matches he featured in.
