UMVA has learned that Paris Saint‑Germain and Barcelona are lining up a move for Crystal Palace’s 19‑year‑old defender Jaydee Canvot.
Canvot signed with the Eagles on the last day of last summer’s deadline, arriving hours before a high‑profile transfer to Liverpool fell through.
Only a year after joining, the young Frenchman has become a linchpin in Palace’s march to the Conference League final, turning a costly error into a heroic comeback against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup.
Sources have confirmed that both French and Spanish giants have been stalking the teenager since his departure from Toulouse, captivated by his performances on the European stage.
Despite his limited Premier League starts, Canvot has been a constant presence in Palace’s knockout run, suggesting he will start in tonight’s showdown with Rayo Vallecano.
UMVA can exclusively reveal that the interest from PSG and Barcelona has yet to translate into concrete offers, giving Palace a window to secure the defender’s future.
With three years left on his contract, Palace faces a strategic choice: hold onto the prodigious centre‑back or risk losing him to a continental powerhouse.
The club’s history of selling stars like Guehi and Eze underscores the urgency to keep Canvot, especially if Palace clinches the Conference League and guarantees another European campaign next season.
Tonight’s final could decide not only a trophy but the trajectory of a young talent poised to become a household name in world football.
