Senegalese-French centre-back Antoine Mendy is being linked with a move from Nice to Crystal Palace, with the 22-year-old under consideration for a transfer from Ligue 1 to the Premier League.
Mendy is a central defender whose current deal with Nice runs until 30 June 2028. That contract means Nice are not facing an imminent expiry deadline, while any move would involve Palace negotiating with the French club rather than signing the player as a free agent.
The reported link places Mendy among the players Palace could pursue to strengthen their defensive options. His market value is listed at €10m, providing an indication of the level at which the transfer could be assessed, although no fee has been agreed and there is no confirmation that formal negotiations have taken place.
Mendy remains a Nice player and is contracted to the club for almost two more seasons. The potential move would take him from France’s top flight to the Premier League, with Palace the club currently associated with his name.
Born in 2004, Mendy has developed into a senior first-team player at Nice and has dual Senegalese and French nationality. The rumour was active on 5 August 2026, but the available details do not indicate that an agreement has been reached between the clubs or with the player.
