Reports indicate Palace are conducting an active transfer campaign to cover the losses of key players, including the recent move of Marc Guéhi to Manchester City. The Crystal Palace coaching staff see young Kluivert as a strong candidate to bolster the heart of their defense.

Lyon are open to letting their player go despite having signed him only last summer, but are seeking a solid compensation in return.

This season, Ruben Kluivert has made 18 appearances for Lyon, scoring 2 goals and providing 2 assists. His current contract with the French club runs until 2030, and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt at €2.5 million.
