Crystal Palace want £45m for captain, could target Sporting for replacement | OneFootball

Crystal Palace has set the price to sell Marc Guéhi during the January transfer window, as the English center-back's contract nears its end. The London club has set the bar at around 45 million euros to avoid losing the player for free at the end of the season.

With the prospect of the center-back's departure, the 'eagles' have already started exploring alternatives to strengthen the center of their defense. Among the names mentioned is Ousmane Diomande, a defender from Sporting who has been on the radar of the current FA Cup holder for several months.

According to 'The Guardian', Marc Guéhi continues to be coveted by several top European clubs, including Liverpool, Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich, but Crystal Palace maintains a firm stance: they will only consider a sale if they receive an offer that meets the stipulated value.

For now, the future of both players remains open, with the French from Paris Saint-Germain also keeping an eye on the footballer from the green and white emblem. The release clause of Rui Borges' protégé is set at 80 million euros.

In the current season, Ousmane Diomande – valued at 45 million euros – has played 12 matches for Sporting: six in the Liga Portugal Betclic, four in the Champions League, one in the Portuguese Cup, and another in the Super Cup. In total, the center-back has accumulated 947 minutes.
