Crystal Palace rebuffed over Noni Madueke
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Nottingham Forest have kept their man, and Crystal Palace go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Transfer targets23 Aug 2027
Crystal Palace bid $12.2M for Keisuke Osako

Manchester City take the points off Crystal Palace
Beaten 1‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.
