Crystal Palace have identified Osasuna defender Enzo Boyomo as a key target ahead of the summer transfer window, as the Premier League side looks to bolster its squad for the upcoming Europa League campaign.
The London club recently made contact regarding the 23-year-old Cameroonian international, who remains under contract with Osasuna until 2029.
Palace are seriously considering a move but face competition from Aston Villa and Turkish giants Galatasaray, both of whom have also expressed interest in the player.
Boyomo, a product of Toulouse’s youth academy before a stint at Blackburn Rovers, rose to prominence during his time at Real Valladolid.
He made the switch to Osasuna last summer for a reported fee of €5 million and has since emerged as a cornerstone of their defence.
His consistent performances this season—featuring in 37 La Liga matches—have not only solidified his reputation in Spain but also drawn attention from scouts across Europe.
Osasuna, however, are determined to retain their defensive stalwart and have made it clear that Boyomo will not be allowed to depart unless his €25 million release clause is met.
Despite Transfermarkt valuing the centre-back at €20 million, the Spanish club are holding firm on their demands.
The interest from Crystal Palace comes as the club seeks to reinforce its defensive line in anticipation of a busier calendar next season.
Sources suggest that while there have been no formal negotiations so far, the Eagles could submit an official bid in the coming weeks.
Aston Villa’s growing interest may spark a bidding war between the two Premier League sides, while Galatasaray’s presence adds another dimension to the competition for the Cameroon international’s signature.
Boyomo’s rise has also earned him a place on the list of top ten most expensive Cameroonian U23 players for the 2024/25 season.
His market value, impressive work rate, and commanding presence on the field make him an appealing option for clubs aiming to shore up their back line with both youth and experience.
As one source close to the player put it: “The Premier League would represent a golden opportunity for Boyomo, who could take a major step forward in his career.” With the summer window fast approaching, his future is set to become one of the most closely watched stories involving Cameroonian talent in Europe.
