Impressive in the Premier League over multiple seasons and still only 24 years old, Liverpool is also hopeful that he would be reasonably cheap.

That's because Guehi has entered the final year of his Crystal Palace contract.

According to Record, there is still a "considerable gap" between Palace and Sporting when it comes to the valuation of Diomande.

As is stands, Crystal Palace would need to smash its transfer record to get Diomande

Funnily enough, that record was set when signing Christian Benteke from Liverpool for $43.5 million (£32 million) in 2016.

Sporting, for its part, values Diomande at more like $69 million (£51 million)

Crystal Palace is believed to want to secure a replacement before sanctioning a move for Guehi, so a Diomande hold-up will cause a blockage in the chain.

And even if a deal can be thrashed out, Liverpool may fear that the price for Guehi will rise too high if Crystal Palace is seeking to cover the costs of a Diomande deal

A $95 million (£70 million) Spurs bid for the England international was rejected in January, but the Reds would hope to strike a deal at more like the $54 million (£40 million) mark.

Of course, Palace does not hold all of the cards, given the looming risk of losing Guehi for nothing

But the more Sporting holds out over Diomande, the more Liverpool may feel it is time to look elsewhere
