Crystal Palace targets this Ivorian to replace Marc Guehi

With Marc Guehi rumored to be heading for the exit, Crystal Palace already appears to have identified a potential replacement—and the Premier League side is prioritizing an Ivorian defender.

According to Portuguese newspaper A Bola, Sporting CP defender Ousmane Diomande is among the candidates to bolster Palace's squad this January. The 25-year-old Ivorian is under contract until 2027, but could make the move to the Premier League as soon as the winter transfer window opens.

Guehi, meanwhile, is attracting attention from European giants such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and Liverpool. Crystal Palace may therefore need to move quickly to secure their defensive line before any decision is made by their key player.
