Contract and Personal Information
About
Chadi Riad is a Moroccan defender who plays as a centre-back for Premier League club Crystal Palace. Born in Palma de Mallorca to Moroccan parents, he came through the youth ranks at RCD Mallorca before joining FC Barcelona in 2019, eventually breaking into the first team and making his senior debut against Osasuna in November 2022. A productive loan spell at Real Betis under Manuel Pellegrini, where he featured around 30 times in all competitions, raised his profile and prompted Crystal Palace to sign him in June 2024 in a deal worth a reported £14m, making him their first arrival of that summer window. Composed in possession and strong in the air, he had already earned a senior Morocco cap, debuting in January 2024. Riad signed a long-term deal that runs until June 2029, tying his future to Selhurst Park as Palace pushed toward the club’s maiden major trophy.
