Tyrick Mitchell in transfer tug-of-war as Atletico Madrid join Premier League clubs in race for Crystal Palace ace
TYRICK MITCHELL is a target for Atletico Madrid along with a host of top Prem clubs.
The Crystal Palace left-back is also on the radar of Italian side AC Milan, who have a strong English contingent.
Mitchell, 25, is under contract at Selhurst Park until 2027.
And it would take a huge offer for Atletico or Milan to strike a deal for him this month.
The left-back is also admired by north London duo Arsenal and Tottenham.
But Palace are keen to keep him around as Oliver Glasner’s side continues to gel.
Mitchell has two England caps and will hope to catch Thomas Tuchel’s eye given the worries in his position.
Ben Chilwell has been frozen out at Chelsea.
While Luke Shaw continues to battle injury problems at Manchester United.
Both of Mitchell’s Three Lions appearances came in 2022.

And some felt he should have been picked for England’s Euro campaign last summer.
Kieran Trippier spent most of the tournament at left-back before a half-fit Shaw was thrown in for the final defeat to Spain.
Mitchell isn’t the only Palace player with suitors this month.
Marc Guehi is a target for his old club Chelsea.
The Blues are hoping to strike a deal with the centre-back in the last 18 months of his contract.
And they could use Palace loanee Trevoh Chalobah as a bargaining chip — although he may yet end up being recalled amid a defensive crisis at Stamford Bridge.
