Crystal Palace has firmly asserted that they have no intention of relinquishing one of their pivotal players at a cut-rate price. The highly skilled central midfielder, Cheick Doucoure, has drawn the attention of Liverpool, who are in dire need of replacements for the departing Fabinho and Jordan Henderson. The duo is set to embark on a new chapter in the Saudi Pro League this summer, with Henderson joining Al Ettifaq and Fabinho signing for Al-Ittihad.

On the 11th of July 2022, Doucoure pledged his allegiance to Crystal Palace by signing a lucrative five-year contract. He made an immediate impact, garnering the coveted Crystal Palace F.C. Player of the Year accolade during his inaugural season. Doucoure showcased his talent in 34 appearances for Crystal Palace and further represented his national team, Mali, in 12 international fixtures.

Transfermarkt.com, a reputable source for player valuations, currently places Doucoure’s market worth at an impressive 35 million euros.

In order to signal their determination to retain their prized asset, Crystal Palace has affixed a substantial price tag of £70 million on Doucoure, making it clear that they are open to parting ways with the midfielder, but only if their valuation is met. The London-based club’s priority is to remain a top-tier team, and they recognize Doucoure’s pivotal role in achieving that ambition.

With the transfer window in full swing, Liverpool faces a crucial decision: either meet Crystal Palace’s demands for Doucoure’s services or explore alternative midfield options. As the situation unfolds, Doucoure’s future hangs in the balance, and it remains to be seen how the forthcoming weeks will unfold for the talented midfielder.
