Palace co-owner John Textor has spoken openly about his multi-club ownership with Lyon, Botafogo and Molenbeek also in his portfolio.
One of the deals that has been done between those club is when Palace under-21 centre back Jake O'Brien moved to Lyon in August 2023, following a loan at Textor's Molenbeek.
He's played 19 games this season and scored three goals and is developing into a key part of the Lyon side.
"I work very closely with Dougie Freedman and Steve Parish and I pick off the situations," Textor told 成人快手 Sport. "They [players] may not be ready for the Premier League, but O鈥橞rien wasn't ready for the Premier League.
"He was ready for Belgium 2, now he鈥檚 ready for French 1, and now we have teams in the Premier League that are calling on him."
