CRYSTAL PALACE are in talks to sign defender Reinildo Mandava.
The Atletico Madrid left-back will be a free agent this summer and is being eyed by Premier League clubs.
Palace want the Mozambique star as competition for Tyrick Mitchell.
Ben Chilwell joined on loan from Chelsea in January but is not expected to stay.
Yet Everton and Fulham are also fans of Reinildo.
The 31-year-old, previously linked to Barcelona and Manchester United, joined Atletico from Lille in 2022.
He has since played 102 times for the club, scoring once and assisting two goals.
Reinildo started ten LaLiga and three Champions League matches this season.
Palace boss Oliver Glasner wants to wrap up transfer business quickly having moaned about the time it took to do deals last year.
And it is set to be a busy summer at Selhurst Park with them keen to bolster their squad ahead of their first ever Europa League campaign.
But Palace risk losing key players like Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze.
Guehi’s contract expires in a year’s time and Newcastle could reignite their interest after seeing a £70million bid rejected last summer.
As for Eze, he is believed to have a release clause of around £65m and reports have linked him with the likes of Aston Villa and Man Utd.
