Defender Chris Richards is about to move from FC Bayern Munich to English club Crystal Palace.
According to information from “Sport Bild” and the TV channels “Sky” and “Sport1”, only the last details between the Bundesliga soccer team and the Premier League club have to be clarified.
The transfer fee should be between 15 and 20 million euros including possible bonus payments. “Things are going well,” said CEO Oliver Kahn in Washington.
The American switched from FC Dallas to FC Bayern in 2018, but has only played eight competitive games for the professionals since then. After the commitments of the two defenders Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui, Richards would probably only have remained the reserve role in defense in the new season.
Most recently, the 22-year-old was loaned out to TSG 1899 Hoffenheim.
