A deal did not materialize on that occasion and it is not yet entirely certain whether Palace will be in action again for the Morocco international, with other clubs also linked.
The report lists Lyon, Marseille and PSV Eindhoven as potential candidates for El Ouahdi, who is expected to leave Genk.
If Palace retain some interest in the 24-year-old, who can play either wide or right-back, it appears the opportunity could arise to try to revive a deal.
Could Crystal Palace use a move for Zakaria El Ouahdi to replace Daniel Munoz?
The ties with El Ouahdi make sense given that there is some uncertainty surrounding Daniel Munoz’s future at Selhurst Park.
As we previously reported, the Palace right-back has been approached by Chelsea over a potential summer move.
Barcelona are also keeping an eye on Munoz and if he leaves, someone like El Ouahdi could be an ideal replacement.
Munoz himself has fueled the speculation by also expressing a desire to one day play for a bigger club.
“If you ask me, it would be a dream to play for one of these clubs, whether it is Barcelona, PSG, Real Madrid or Manchester United,” said Munoz, quoted by Sports witness.
“I think that’s what I’m working towards. I strive every day to one day attract the attention of one of these clubs because for me it’s a dream to get there.”
