Crystal Palace is in the market for a new center-back, with Marc Guehi potentially leaving for Newcastle United following a strong season.
Their target is Odilon Kossounou, a talented defender from Bayer Leverkusen who helped his team win the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal.
However, signing Kossounou will require Crystal Palace to break their transfer record, as Leverkusen is seeking a significant fee for the in-demand player.
Liverpool had shown interest in Kossounou earlier this summer, but their pursuit seems to have cooled, leaving Crystal Palace as the frontrunner.
