Under new manager Pierre Saj, Crystal Palace plans to sell 22-year-old academy graduate Tayo Adaramola to Belgian side Cercle Brugge for £1 million. The Ireland international hopes to revitalise his career in Europe.

Crystal Palace manager Pierre Saj is actively looking to trim his squad as the summer transfer window draws to a close.

According to Mail Sport, 22-year-old academy graduate Tayo Adaramola is on the verge of a move to Belgian side Cercle Brugge for £1 million.

The player's situation

  • Contract and loans: The defender is entering the final year of his contract with the Eagles. Since 2022, he has been sent on six loan spells, most recently enjoying a successful stint at Sheffield Wednesday during the latter half of last season.
  • International debut: Adaramola made his debut for the Republic of Ireland national team in spring 2026, starting in a friendly match against Grenada that ended 5-0 in Ireland’s favour.
  • Need for change: With no clear pathway to the first team at Crystal Palace, moving to Belgium offers the Irishman regular playing time and a chance to secure his place in the national team ahead of the Euro 2028 qualifiers.

Previously, Crystal Palace sold Maxence Lacroix to Chelsea for £52 million and completed a swap deal sending Brennan Johnson to Everton in exchange for Dwight McNeil.
