The Dutchman had a successful spell resurrecting Ajax's football program for six seasons before joining Inter Milan last year.
De Boer only lasted 85 days in the role and has been unemployed since.
The Express reports that De Boer was offered the Palace job while on the boat of Eagles chairman Steve Parish in the Mediterranean.
