# Fiorentina and Palace battling for Dendoncker

Crystal Palace are set to battle with Serie A side Fiorentina for the signing of  Leander Dendoncker this summer, according to [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/fiorentina-il-sogno-e-dendoncker-92782).

Palace attempted to buy the player in January without luck, while West Ham were also rumoured with a move for the player.

Anderlecht have previously admitted that they would accept an offer if they receive a proposal entailing an appropriate fee from potential suitors, with Dendoncker one of the club’s most valuable assets.

Florentina are now set to join the battle for the player, with Palace remaining the firm favourites to get a deal over the line.

Palace will undoubtedly be hoping that the allure of Premier League football along with financial power will dissuade Dendoncker from the prospect of playing for Fiorentina.

The London club are safe in the top flight now and can now prepare themselves ahead of next season, with Dendoncker likely to be a target once again.
