Textor would sell shares to help Palace play European football

Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor would be willing to sell his shares to his fellow owners in a cut-price deal to allow the club to play in this season's Europa League, according to sources close to Eagle Football.

Uefa's rules forbid individuals from being involved with more than one club in the same competition to avoid conflicts of interest.

Eagle Football, the multi-club group owned by Textor, owns a majority stake in Ligue 1 side Lyon, who have also qualified for next season's competition.

The four Palace partners of Textor, Steve Parish, Josh Harris and David Blitzer were in Switzerland on Tuesday to discuss Palace's participation in the Europa League.
