Man Utd look set to keep Aaron Wan-Bissaka this month with Crystal Palace unable to pay raised transfer fee

CRYSTAL PALACE fear they will be priced out of re-signing Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United.

The Eagles were interested in bringing him back to Selhurst Park after he had become a fringe player at Old Trafford.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka has become a regular in the last few games

However, in recent weeks the defender has managed to earn his spot in Erik ten Hag’s side.

Wan-Bissaka was part of the Manchester United side that managed to overcome cross-city rivals Manchester City on Saturday.

And Selhurst Park chiefs are now concerned United will be less willing to let him go.

The Eagles were counting on a loan move until that development.

But United will now demand a fee to part with the right-back as his recent form raising his profile in the squad.

And it would be a stretch for Palace to buy him and match his Old Trafford wages.

The Eagles are also interested in trying for former loan star Conor Gallagher from Chelsea one more time.

Boss Patrick Vieira wants his former loan star back and Palace’s money men would find the funds to sign the fan favourite.

The England midfielder, 22, has been shunted around the Blues side in different positions since he went back to Stamford Bridge last summer.

And may go further down the pecking order soon as Graham Potter searches for more reinforcements.

However, Gallagher is still committed to making it at his boyhood club and that may be the biggest obstacle to progress for Palace.

Vieira wants an extra midfielder and if Gallagher says no then he may have to go elsewhere and that door closes.
