Benitez, a 32-year-old international goalkeeper from Argentina, has already undergone a medical examination and is expected to sign with Palace soon. This move will provide the team with additional goalkeeping support, particularly with current first-choice goalkeeper Dean Henderson.

During his time at PSV, Benitez played a crucial role in helping the team win the Eredivisie title last season. They secured the top spot by a single point ahead of their rivals, Ajax.

With Benitez's experience and skills, Palace will strengthen their goalkeeping department and prepare for upcoming challenges.
