Defender sits on the fence as he’s asked about Crystal Palace and Fulham – Summer move very possible

Fulham and Crystal Palace are said to be keen on signing Union Berlin’s Danilho Doekhi in the summer.

This was reported in the UK and has now reached the German media, in particular Bild.

Following claims of interest from both Fulham and Crystal Palace in the 25-year-old, Bild decided to get in touch with him for an opinion on links with the London clubs.

When responding to it all, the centre-back has not closed the door on a possible exit after this season.

“I’m concentrating on the last few games with the club. That’s my full focus. We’ll see what happens in the summer. But I’m focussed on the here and now with Union,” he said.

The Dutchman has less than 18 months left on his current deal and the report states his future is ‘uncertain’.

He has to make a decision on his future in the summer. It’s possible for Doekhi to sign a new contract and if there’s no renewal, Bild state the Bundesliga side could sell him for a ‘double-digit million’ [€10m or more] offer in the next window.

He joined Union Berlin from Vitesse for €4m in 2022 and Bild state he’s currently valued at €17m.

Doekhi’s side are 13th in the table and three points away from the relegation zone, and he’s confident of Union Berlin continuing in the top flight next season.

“We know the table, we know that we need points. There are still three home games left and we want to get as many points as possible. That should be enough,” Doekhi explained.
