Though crystal palace

English Premier League: As the winter transfer window approaches, English Premier League club Crystal Palace have reportedly shown interest in signing Joao Mario, but they will need to pay around €12 million to sign the 25-year-old Portuguese wide man.

Joao Mario has struggled for regular opportunities at Juventus and is hoping to move to greener pastures in search of regular playing time, as per a report by Corriere dello Sport.

The report said the transfer could go through as Crystal Palace are also looking to strengthen their squad and could use more quality and depth on the flanks, and Mario would be an excellent acquisition for them. The 25-year-old is capable of operating as the right-sided winger as well as a fullback. His versatility will be an added bonus for Crystal Palace.
