John Textor is willing to sell his majority stake in Crystal Palace for £175m – and put an end the club’s European crisis.
Mail Sport understands that the American, whose ownership of French side Lyon has placed the Eagles’ historic Europa League place at risk, has offered his stake to his fellow co-owners in a last-ditch bid to ensure the club does not fall foul of UEFA’s rules.
The figure, for Textor’s Eagle Football Holdings’ 43 per cent share, is understood to value Palace at significantly less than the amount Textor himself offered to buy out his three fellow directors earlier this year, according to sources with knowledge of the situation.
