Arrived last summer in London, on the side of Crystal Palace, Cheick Doucouré is one of the rare satisfactions of the season. The Eagles have not confirmed their great promises after Patrick Vieira’s successful debut campaign in 2021-2022. The French coach was even dismissed from his post at the end of March. But the former RC Lens midfielder immediately made his mark, becoming an indisputable holder in an orphaned midfield of Connor Gallagher in particular.
Precisely, Cheick Doucouré stirs up lusts. Liverpool, soon to lose Jordan Henderson, need to recruit in front of the defense and the Crystal Palace player represents a brand option. Alas, The Daily Mail assures that the Eagles are demanding at least €80m for their midfielder. At only 23 years old, the former Lensois still has plenty of room for improvement ahead of him and is obviously part of the future of his team, alongside Michael Olise, Marc Guehi and Eberechi Eze. What is certain is that the Reds will have to put their hands in their pockets if they want to recruit the former resident of Ligue 1.
