Crystal Palace are stepping up their summer business with an ambitious move for Yann Bisseck, as the Eagles prepare to offer over €32 million to sign the Inter Milan defender.
That’s according to Gazzetta dello Sport, who claim Palace are at the front of the queue for the 24-year-old German — and have already made contact with Inter.
The Nerazzurri had planned to raise Bisseck’s market value this season, and after an impressive 2024/25 campaign, they’re now open to selling for a significant profit.
Palace are reportedly willing to go higher than rival Premier League clubs, with West Ham having had a €20m bid rejected last year.
Why Crystal Palace Want Bisseck — and What He Offers
Yann Bisseck is a versatile centre-back who can also play in a back three or as a holding midfielder. He joined Inter from Aarhus for €7m in 2023 and has rapidly developed under Cristian Chivu’s system, showing strength in duels, composure in possession and aerial dominance.
At 6’4” and just 24, he fits the Palace model under Oliver Glasner — young, tactically adaptable, and ready to step into the Premier League.
“Bisseck has the profile and ceiling to be a top-tier Premier League defender — and Palace’s interest reflects that,” said a Serie A scout. — Gazzetta dello Sport

Analyst Verdict: Palace Making a Statement with Bisseck Bid
If Palace land Bisseck, it would represent one of their most expensive signings ever — and one that signals a serious intent to evolve their defensive identity.
Under Glasner, the Eagles are pushing for more proactive, possession-based football. Bisseck fits that blueprint: he’s press-resistant, positionally aware, and comfortable playing under pressure.
It also continues the club’s recruitment shift — targeting high-upside players in Europe’s top five leagues before their value skyrockets.
