Crystal Palace are ready to reignite their interest in Anderlecht defender Kara Mbodji.
The Eagles had a £10m bid rejected by the Belgian club in January, but it is understood that they are now willing to sell Mbodji.
The Senegal star has expressed a desire to come to the Premier League after allegedly suffering racial abuse from his own fans.
The Mirror reports that Leicester, who also tried to sign Mbodji in January, and Palace want to bring him to England this summer.

Watford are another club believed to be keeping tabs on the centre-half.
Speaking about a move to England’s top tier, Mbodji, 27, said: “In January I narrowly missed out on my dream of playing in England – for the third consecutive transfer window.
“I have dreamed about playing in England since I was little. But I am a believer and things happen if they are meant to be.”
Mbodji made 36 appearances for Anderlecht last season as the club won the Belgian First Division A title and reached the Europa League quarter-finals.
