Crystal Palace are intensifying their efforts to strengthen their backline as the transfer window approaches its end, making significant progress in discussions for the transfer of 25-year-old Dutch defender Ruben Kluivert from Lyon.
According to reliable French outlet L'Équipe, Lyon are having to consider the sale of their players to meet Financial Fair Play regulations and balance their budget. The French club is open to Kluivert’s departure, hoping to secure around €20 million for the defender.
The Eagles view the tall Dutchman, son of Patrick Kluivert and brother of current Premier League player Justin Kluivert, as a versatile addition to their squad. He is capable of effectively covering both central defence and playing in the wider areas of the backline.
