Crystal Palace have made contact with Cardiff City as they ramp up their interest in Victor Camarasa.
The Premier League club are reported to be in talks to sign the Real Betis midfielder, and Neil Warnock has revealed the Eagles have made contact for a reference.
The 25-year-old Spaniard spent last season on loan with the Bluebirds, where he became a real fan favourite and scored five goals in 33 matches.
Speaking at a press conference ahead of Cardiff's opener against Wigan, Warnock said: "They rang us up about him.
"What can we say, we were gutted, really, but we gave him a good reference.
"Burnley enquired as well, there were one or two clubs and I’m sure he’ll enjoy it. He’s a good player, one of the best midfield players I've had under me."
Warnock also opened up on Cardiff's own transfer situation, with the search for a second striker active and loan options being considered after contact with several Premier League managers in the last week.
