According to The Guardian, Crystal Palace could avoid paying significant compensation to Pierre Sage if he returns to his former club, Lens. Although the decision to sack Sage was made on Sunday following a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool, his official departure from Selhurst Park has not yet been confirmed, and negotiations regarding his three-year contract compensation are ongoing. The sacking of Yannick Cahuzac by Lens has opened the possibility for Sage's return to France. Lens owner Joseph Oughourlian has remained in contact with Sage and is thought to favor his reappointment. Should this move occur, Crystal Palace could avoid further compensation costs after having already paid to secure him this summer. Meanwhile, Thomas Frank has emerged as the leading candidate to replace Sage at Crystal Palace.
