Crystal Palace accelerating talks to keep Manchester United target Tyrick Mitchell
September 27, 2026 22:32
Crystal Palace are accelerating contract talks with Tyrick Mitchell ahead of the New Year, the club moving to try to secure a renewal for the 27-year-old full-back whose current deal runs until June next year. The Englishman has been described as one of the Premier League's most consistent defenders and has been linked with a move away.
KEY CONTEXT
Manchester United have already made contact with Mitchell's entourage. Liverpool and Chelsea are also reported to be keeping tabs on the player. Palace have begun discussions directly with the player's agency and say they remain determined to persuade Mitchell to extend his contract; the club is optimistic about reaching a renewal soon.
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
If talks fail to produce a new deal, Palace could opt to sell Mitchell at the turn of the year. The club accepted a £20m fee for Marc Guehi's move to Manchester City last winter after Guehi declined to renew beyond June 2026, and Mitchell could be sold for a similar fee if there is a stand-off.
