Crystal Palace approach Monaco for Mohammed Salisu | OneFootball

According to a report from Ed Aarons of The Guardian, Crystal Palace have approached AS Monaco over a loan for centre-back Mohammed Salisu (26).

The Ghanaian international has struggled to pin down a regular place in the starting lineup since arriving in the Principality from Southampton FC in 2023. He initially struggled with injuries in his first season, and despite starting more regularly in his second campaign, he eventually became a backup option.

His last start for Monaco came in February, and with the arrival of Eric Dier this summer, it appears as if Salisu’s already scarce appearances will become even more diminished. It was reported in June that the defender was looking to leave the Principality.

Aarons writes that Palace are not the only team looking at the defender, with Olympiacos also in talks with Salisu. But he also explains that he is not Palace’s only target, with the club also looking at Manchester City’s Manuel Akanji (30), who is in the sights of Bayer Leverkusen and Galatasaray.
