The Eagles' interest in the 24-year-old centre-back stems from ongoing talks that began earlier this year when Inter expressed interest in Palace's Marc Guehi.
In May, Palace indicated they were prepared to offer around 30 million euros for Bisseck, though Inter's valuation was slightly higher. "The financial gap isn't the issue," a source close to the negotiations said. "It's about convincing the player."
Bisseck, however, has no desire to leave Inter, where he is part of a squad challenging for the Serie A title and competing in the Champions League. With the 2026 World Cup looming, the defender prioritises regular high-level football. "Yann wants to stay in Milan and continue his development at a top club," an insider revealed.
Despite Palace's ambition, Bisseck views their project as less appealing compared to Inter's trophy-chasing aspirations.
Palace's urgency to sign a defender like Bisseck is driven by uncertainty over Guehi's future. Liverpool have emerged as frontrunners for the England international, having agreed personal terms on a five-year deal with an optional 12-month extension, according to reports in early July.
The Reds, however, are unwilling to pay more than 45 million pounds for Guehi, whose contract expires in 2026. Palace are bracing for his potential departure and see Bisseck's physicality and experience in a back-three system as ideal for Oliver Glasner's setup.
Inter, meanwhile, are open to offers for Bisseck but have set a firm 40 million euro price tag. The Nerazzurri would use any funds to pursue targets like Genoa's Koni De Winter. However, Bisseck's reluctance to move was reaffirmed on X by @SkySport, stating, "The defender is not looking to leave the club; an important economic offer would be needed to convince him."
Palace's transfer plans are further complicated by their European status. After winning the FA Cup last season, the Eagles qualified for the Europa League but were relegated to the Europa Conference League due to UEFA's multi-club ownership rules.
Owner John Textor's stakes in both Palace and Lyon, who also qualified for the Europa League, triggered the sanction. Palace have appealed, with a decision expected by August 11, but Nottingham Forest could take their Europa League spot if the appeal fails.
Adding to Palace's challenges, star attacker Eberechi Eze is attracting interest from top clubs, raising the prospect of a significant squad overhaul. Despite their European ambitions, Palace face an uphill battle to land Bisseck, whose heart remains set on Inter's San Siro.
For now, Glasner's side must regroup and explore alternative defensive targets as they prepare for a pivotal season.
Liverpool are eyeing PSG's Bradley Barcola as a fallback option if their pursuit of Newcastle's Alexander Isak fails, with transfer experts Fabrizio Romano and Florian Plettenberg confirming the Reds' interest in the 22-year-old winger.
Paris Saint-Germain have signalled they are open to letting Gianluigi Donnarumma leave this summer, paving the way for Manchester United to pursue the Italian goalkeeper amid growing interest from several top clubs.
Gianluigi Donnarumma, a Ballon d'Or nominee for his stellar displays with Paris Saint-Germain, faces an uncertain future as Manchester City, Manchester United, and Bayern Munich vie for the Italian goalkeeper's signature.
Bayern Munich are reportedly preparing to part ways with star striker Harry Kane in the summer of 2026, sparking intense speculation about a potential Premier League comeback.
