Palace line up 40m defender as Marc Guehi replacement
Briefly

Liverpool have held talks to sign Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guehi, who is in the final year of his contract and could be sold this summer. Crystal Palace are reportedly ready to replace Guehi by targeting 21-year-old Ecuador international Joel Ordonez from Club Brugge. Ordonez is viewed as a strong prospect who could strengthen Oliver Glasner's defence if Guehi departs. Palace are also expected to sell Eberechi Eze to Arsenal, which would represent another major loss for the club. Brugge frequently sell top players, increasing the likelihood that Palace could secure Ordonez.
The Reds have held some talks over signing Guehi from Palace, and it's now emerged that the Eagles are looking to replace him with Joel Ordonez, according to the Daily Mirror. Guehi has been an important player for Palace, but he's in the final year of his contract so it could make sense for the club to sell him now.
The talented 21-year-old Ecuador international looks like he could be a good fit to come in and strengthen Oliver Glasner's defence in the event that Guehi moves on. It won't be easy to replace a key player like Guehi, but Ordonez looks like he has a bright future in the game. Brugge often have to sell their best players, and it could be that Palace will now be ready to swoop as the Mirror claim they've added him to their list of targets.
