Crystal Palace's American owners have set an 'extremely high valuation' as they begin to explore a potential sale of the club.

What's happening with the sale?

The news comes after the club's recent successes, including FA Cup and UEFA Conference League triumphs. Former Everton chief executive Keith Wyness believes that now is the 'best chance' for the club to be sold. However, Wyness has emphasized that there is limited 'growth potential' with Palace's Selhurst Park home.

Why is growth potential a concern?

The South Londoners have plans to up their capacity to 34,000 with the redevelopment of a stand, but Wyness believes that there is no scope for wholesale changes, given their surroundings. He has also raised serious questions regarding the valuation that has been put in place, as he feels it could force potential buyers away.

What's the current situation?

As of the end of the 2025-2026 season, Crystal Palace stands at 15th in the Premier League, with 45 points from 38 games, and a recent form of LDLDL. The club's last result was a 1-0 win against Rayo Vallecano on May 27, 2026. | Category | Stat | | --- | --- | | League Standing | 15th | | Points | 45 | | Recent Form | LDLDL | | Last Result | 1-0 win against Rayo Vallecano | Wyness believes that the club's owners only truly want to sell up if they can secure a premium price.
