Manchester United, Liverpool and Chelsea are weighing a move for Crystal Palace full-back Tyrick Mitchell during the winter transfer window, with the defender’s contract situation attracting growing interest.
Mitchell is in the final year of his deal at Selhurst Park and renewal discussions have stalled. Sportowy reports that the three Premier League clubs are monitoring the 27-year-old, although none has yet made a formal approach.
The England-born full-back has risen through Palace’s academy and has been part of the first-team squad since 2020. He has made 250 appearances for the club, contributing 26 goals, and has remained an important member of their side in recent seasons.
Mitchell has also made a strong start to the current campaign, scoring twice against Fulham to help Palace secure all three points. Despite his importance to the team, uncertainty over his future has left the club facing the possibility of losing him.
Premier League clubs monitor Tyrick Mitchell situation
Palace want to extend Mitchell’s stay, but the lack of progress in negotiations has created an opportunity for interested clubs. His experience in the Premier League is understood to have made him an appealing option for all three sides.
Manchester United are seeking competition and cover for Luke Shaw, with Patrick Dorgu often being used as a winger by manager Michael Carrick. Liverpool, meanwhile, are looking to improve their options and add depth on the left side of their defence.
Chelsea view Mitchell as a relatively cost-effective way to strengthen their backline during the middle of the season. The clubs are continuing to assess his performances and contract position before deciding whether to advance their interest.
Crystal Palace are expected to demand between £20 million and £25 million for Mitchell. However, with the defender able to leave as a free agent next summer if no agreement is reached, potential suitors could attempt to negotiate a lower fee.
A move to Manchester United or Liverpool could appeal to Mitchell because both clubs can offer Champions League football, adding another potential factor as his future at Selhurst Park remains unresolved.
