- Tyrick Mitchell, an English defender who has been a mainstay in Oliver Glasner’s team this season, has appeared in all 20 of the Eagles’ Premier League games, posted three assists, and put up steady performances at left-back. According to The Sun, Crystal Palace may have to fight to hold onto Mitchell as Atletico Madrid and AC Milan consider making huge offers for the English defender.
The 25-year-old has grown into one of the most reliable full-backs in the English game, and he was unfortunate to miss out on a place in England’s squad for Euro 2024. He’ll be looking to add to the two international caps he’s earned now that Thomas Tuchel has replaced Gareth Southgate.
Mitchell is on North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur’s radar. European heavyweights Milan and Atletico are also keeping tabs as he continues to develop into a top talent at Selhurst Park. He’s been with Palace since his youth, when he arrived from Brentford’s academy in July 2016.
Milan are eyeing Mitchell, and he may join English trio Tammy Abraham, Fikayo Tomori and Ruben Loftus-Cheek at the San Siro. The Rossoneri are financially backed by their billionaire owner, Paul Singer, and have money to spend to back new manager Sergio Conceicao this month.
The two European teams would allegedly have to make a ‘large offer’ for Mitchell if they want to capture the two-cap England international. Palace are trying to build for the future under Glasner and won’t want to lose one of their prized possessions for anything less than an astronomical fee. The Eagles are continuing to create a roster of youthful English blood. According to Fabrizio Romano, the South Londoners are getting closer to signing Romain Esse, a 19-year-old winger for Millwall. The Eagles are also interested in 19-year-old Jobe Bellingham of Sunderland.
