Benitez's contract with PSV is set to expire this month, and he has declined an offer to extend his stay. The goalkeeper is now in talks to join FA Cup winners Crystal Palace instead.

Benitez's arrival will provide additional goalkeeper options for the team, particularly as cover for senior goalkeeper Dean Henderson. Meanwhile, Matt Turner is nearing a move to Olympique Marseille, reportedly for a fee of €8 million. Additionally, goalkeeper Owen Goodman is expected to leave the team on loan, with negotiations underway for a temporary transfer to Huddersfield.

During his time with PSV, Benitez maintained a perfect record of appearances, contributing to the team's success last season.
