Crystal Palace make €12m bid for defender

Crystal Palace have made a €12m bid for Anderlecht defender Kara Mbodji, according to a report from Belgian outlet HLN.

However, that bid has apparently been rejected by the Belgian side with indications suggesting that they are looking for bids of around €15m before they consider selling him.

Leicester City and Southampton have been linked with moves for the 27-year-old too, so if Palace do want him, they’ll have to stump up the extra cash and hope to beat their two fellow Premier League sides to his signature.

The Senegalese defender has been linked with a move to Leicester for a few weeks, but their bid of around €11m was rejected earlier in the week. Palace outbid the Premier League champions but did not meet Anderlecht’s valuation.

The player is apparently very interested in a move to England, but he won’t get his wish if playing in the Premier League until a team stumps up the €15m that Anderlecht want/
