One of Bayern Munich's most promising players is close to leaving the club. Chris Richards, who joined the Bavarian club after leaving his native United States, is now on the radar of Crystal Palace.
According to 'Sky Sports', in fact, the Eagles have practically closed the deal. They will pay around 15 million euros to the Germans for him. It is still unknown how many years he will sign for, but it is logical to think that it will be for many.
Last season, the player left the Allianz Arena on loan to play for Hoffenheim, as he was not in Julian Nagelsmann's squad. It is the same scenario he faces this year, although a transfer will give him more stability in his career.
At just 22 years of age, Chris Richards already knows what it's like to represent the United States National Team, so Crystal Palace will be getting a professional with plenty of elite experience. It remains to be seen how he adapts to the Premier League.
