Crystal Palace’s rising star Jesse Derry has attracted significant interest from four top European clubs, sources have informed *Football Insider*.
Bayern Munich, Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain, and Atletico Madrid have all closely monitored the 17-year-old winger, evaluating the possibility of making a move.
Derry has yet to sign a professional contract with Palace, leaving the door open for elite clubs to swoop in. His potential departure would be a major setback for the Eagles, who highly rate the youngster and are keen to avoid losing another academy talent after recent exits of Samuel Lusale and Reggie Watson.
However, concerns over the pathway to first-team football at Selhurst Park persist, especially with Palace’s overloaded Under-21 squad.
Derry has been in sensational form, netting 20 goals in 27 games for the club’s Under-18 side. He also made his mark at the Under-21 level, scoring his first goal in January against RB Leipzig. His rapid rise has earned him an England Under-19 call-up, making his debut in November 2024.
Capable of playing on either wing or as a centre-forward, Derry has showcased his versatility throughout his development at Palace.
Meanwhile, at the senior level, the Eagles are preparing for bids for captain Marc Guehi, whose contract expires in June 2026.
*Football Insider* previously reported (February 4) that Liverpool and Arsenal are expected to join the race for Guehi this summer, alongside Newcastle, Tottenham, and Chelsea.
Spurs even submitted a £70 million bid late in the January window as they sought defensive reinforcements but saw their offer rejected.
