Liverpool Ready to Exchange Ben Doak for Marc Guéhi

Liverpool are considering an intriguing transfer strategy — offering young player Ben Doak as part of a deal to secure Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi.

Crystal Palace values Guéhi at £50 million, a figure Liverpool considers too high. Doak — who recorded three goals and seven assists during his loan spell at Middlesbrough last season — could be key to reducing this valuation.

Moise Kean emerges as Manchester United’s alternative target, with a £44 million release clause expiring in mid-July. This situation follows United’s £62.5 million bid for Bryan Mbeumo being rejected by Brentford.

Real Madrid have shown interest in Dutch young star Kees Smit from AZ Alkmaar. The 19-year-old was recently named MVP at the U-19 European Championship.

Thomas Partey will leave Arsenal as his contract expires — the Ghanaian midfielder has served the Gunners for five years. Christian Nørgaard from Brentford is reportedly set to be his replacement.
