Atletico Madrid and AC Milan want to sign Crystal Palace defender Tyrick Mitchell.
The 25-year-old has been linked with a move from Selhurst Park, with his contract will expire at the end of the season. Naturally, the clubs are reportedly looking to secure his services on a free transfer (h/t GiveMeSport).
It remains to be seen whether Atlético de Madrid or AC Milan can reach the agreement. He has also been linked with several English clubs.
The English defender has shown his quality in the Premier League and could also prove to be a quality signing for the two European heavyweights.
Landing a player of his quality on a free transfer would be a major bargain.
Crystal Palace have been unable to secure an extension for the player and it looks like Mitchell will be moving on in the coming months. This month he can get a pre-contract with AC Milan or Atlético de Madrid.
Mitchell could help both clubs improve
Atlético Madrid need to strengthen their defensive unit and the 25-year-old could prove to be a useful acquisition. Mitchell has the quality to succeed in La Liga and will be looking to establish himself as a key player for Diego Simeone.
Atlético de Madrid is a big club capable of pushing for big trophies and the defender will be attracted by the idea of joining them. Similarly, AC Milan could also be an exciting destination for the player. It remains to be seen where it will ultimately end up.
The defender has proven himself in the Premier League and will be looking to take on a new challenge at this stage of his career. The chance to join big clubs like Milan and Atlético de Madrid will be quite tempting.
Meanwhile, losing a player of his quality on a free transfer would be a huge blow to the Eagles. It remains to be seen if they decide to sell him at a nominal price this month to avoid losing him on a free transfer.
