US Billionaire Owners of Crystal Palace Exploring Sale: Reports


The American billionaire owners of Crystal Palace are exploring a sale of English Premier League club The Financial times This was reported on Monday, citing people with direct knowledge of the matter.

The club had appointed bankers from the Raine Group to handle the process and was open to a variety of options, including a full sale, the report said.

Crystal Palace did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Palace is run by four ‘major shareholders’: US investors Josh Harris, David Blitzer and Woody Johnson, alongside lifelong fan Steve Parish, who has been the club’s executive chairman since 2010.

Johnson, a former US ambassador to Britain and co-owner of the New York Jets, completed his purchase of Eagle Football Holdings’ stake in Crystal Palace in July 2025, with British media reporting the deal was worth almost 190 million pounds ($120.70 million), with Johnson buying a 43% stake.

The report came on the day Palace appointed Frenchman Pierre Sage as manager to succeed Oliver Glasner after a historic, trophy-laden spell for the south London club.

Glasner, who left at the end of his contract last month, led Palace to the first major success in its history by beating Manchester City to win the 2025 FA Cup, before doubling the club’s trophies in May with victory over Spaniard Rayo Vallecano to lift the Conference League.

Reuters could not immediately verify the FT report.
