LIVERPOOL are ready to throw flying Scot Ben Doak into a swap deal for England star Marc Guehi.
The Kop’s transfer team are focusing on centre-half Guehi, 24, as their next target but Palace want around £50million for him.

Doak, 19, is fancied by Palace and rated in the £25m class despite his limited appearances outside a loan spell at Middlesbrough.
He played 24 times in the Championship last term, scoring three times and assisting seven goals.
Liverpool would offer the winger and cash to snap up Guehi but that will take a great deal of negotiating.
Palace supremo Steve Parish is renowned for standing firm on valuations.
Everton are keen on Doak but not at that price.
Meanwhile, Guehi is letting his deal run down but has been relatively low-paid at Selhurst Park for some time — money is not his driving force.
His deal is set to expire at the end of the 2025/26 campaign.
Liverpool are not the only club interested in his services with Newcastle and Manchester United also keen.
Arne Slot‘s side are looking to add another centre-back to the squad with Jarell Quansah expected to leave.
The Under-21 Euros winner with England is set to sign for Bundesliga giants Bayer Leverkusen.
Quansah, 22, will have a medical with Erik ten Hag‘s side on Monday ahead of a £30m switch, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Liverpool have been active in the transfer market as they look to strengthen ahead of the Premier League title defence.
The likes of Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Freddie Woodman have been welcomed through the doors at Anfield.
