Crystal Palace transfer news as Man Utd ruin Pierre Sage hopes of €40m reunion

Manchester United are preparing a bid for RC Lens midfielder Mamadou Sangare, who has also been a long-standing transfer target for Crystal Palace. The Malian central midfielder, valued at €40m but expected to cost more, made 29 appearances under coach Pierre Sage last season, contributing three goals and four assists. With over a dozen clubs reportedly interested and Sangare having four years remaining on his contract, Crystal Palace risk missing out on a potential reunion with new manager Pierre Sage.
