Per Fabrizio Romano, the London club are hoping to finalize an agreement with Sunderland.
The two parties are not close on a deal, but there is optimism that an understanding can be found.
The younger Bellingham does want to make the move, as Palace have a reputation for developing young players.
They will also be flush with cash, as they are selling Michael Olise to Bayern Munich.
