The Reds will provide Arne Slot with a direct replacement and the club are zeroing in on Crystal Palace<\/a> and England ace, Guehi<\/a>.<\/p>\n The 24-year-old only has one year remaining on his contract and according to A Bola<\/a> and Fabrizio Romano, he will not sign an extension at Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n Palace are said to have been \u2018informed\u2019 of that decision by Guehi and his camp, with a begrudging sale in the current window now the likeliest outcome.<\/p>\n And according to A Bola, a second hurdle has been cleared after Palace agreed to sign Guehi\u2019s replacement in a club-record \u20ac55m deal.<\/p>\n Sporting CP\u2019s Ousmane Diomande<\/a> is the player Palace have turned to and it\u2019s claimed the two clubs have \u2018reached\u2019 a compromise on a \u20ac55m (\u00a347.1m, $64.8m) transfer fee.<\/p>\n Diomande\u2019s deal in Lisbon contains an \u20ac80m release clause, though Sporting have not held out for the full figure.<\/p>\n Diomande is said to be excited at the prospect of playing in the Premier League and there will be \u2018no problem\u2019 on personal terms. A five-year contract will be signed and Diomande will secure a gigantic pay rise when doing so, per the report.<\/p>\n Diomande in, Guehi out<\/strong><\/p>\n With Crystal Palace lining up a direct replacement for Guehi, all the signs now point towards the centre-back leaving.<\/p>\n Liverpool are by far his likeliest destination and transfer guru Romano provided the latest he\u2019s been hearing via his YouTube channel.<\/p>\n \u201cFor Marc Guehi the conversations continue,\u201d began Romano<\/a>. \u201cAlso this week there will be more, so get ready for more contacts between Liverpool, the camp of the player and Crystal Palace.<\/p>\n \u201cThe player is really appreciated by Liverpool. It\u2019s also true the reports in recent days that Guehi wants some guarantees on playing time.<\/p>\n \u201cBut Liverpool are speaking to the player\u2019s camp, are presenting their vision, are presenting their idea and presenting Arne Slot\u2019s plans.<\/p>\n \u201cLet\u2019s see what happens there but for sure Marc Guehi remains a strong target for Liverpool.<\/p>\n \u201cAlso I can tell you Guehi is not going to sign a new contract at Crystal Palace. So it\u2019s a big opportunity for Palace to sell him this summer and not lose him on a free in 2026.<\/p>\n \u201cAnd for Liverpool the chance to try and attack the situation and get the player for a good transfer fee.\u201d<\/p>\n Palace are understood to be targeting a fee in the \u00a345m-\u00a350m range, but with Guehi entering the final year of his deal, Liverpool hope to negotiate those demands down.<\/p>\n Latest Liverpool news \u2013 Major striker update \/ Klopp on \u2018insane\u2019 Wirtz transfer and more\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34\u00a0Liverpool narrow striker search down to three incredible stars<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n \ud83d\udd34\u00a0Klopp brands Wirtz transfer \u2018insane\u2019 and warns Liverpool what will happen<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n
