Solly March Linked With Shock Crystal Palace Move
Solly March could be about to reopen old wounds for Brighton supporters. The winger, released by the Albion this summer, has been linked with a shock free transfer to fierce rivals Crystal Palace. According to Goal.com, the Eagles are weighing up a move for the out-of-contract wide man as they work the free-agent market.
For Albion fans, it is the identity of the suitor that stings. March is a homegrown favourite who came through Brighton’s academy before being released this summer. A switch to Selhurst Park — home of the Seagulls’ most bitter rivals — would be a bitter twist for a player long cherished at the Amex. His future had already been a talking point earlier in the window.
GiveMeSport described the potential deal as a “controversial move”, and it is easy to see why. Few transfers would land worse with the Brighton faithful than watching one of their own line up for Palace in the M23 derby, the sharpest edge of a busy summer of comings and goings on the south coast.
What Goal.com reports about Solly March
Goal.com reports that Palace are weighing March as part of a wider push in the free-agent market, framing it alongside the Eagles’ interest in another free agent, Takehiro Tomiyasu. As of Wednesday, no deal had been agreed and nothing had been confirmed by either club — the story remains firmly speculation.
As a free agent, March holds the cards on where he goes next, and a top-flight reunion is far from guaranteed. But for a fanbase still digesting a summer of change, even the whisper of this one will be hard to ignore.
