LIVERPOOL He looked set to sign the England defender last summer before Crystal Palace pulled the plug on a move on Deadline Day. It was believed they would make a move at the end of the season when his current contract at Palace expired.
But Man City did not want to wait until the end of the season and instead made a £30million offer to Palace in a bid to complete a deal for Guehi in January. The England star has now made the switch to City and has already made his debut for the club.
Reports now claim that Arne Slot is targeting Diomande as a possible alternative to Guehi, who recently played with Ivory Coast at the Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco and was impressive for his current club Sporting Lisbon.
Diomande has attracted all kinds of interest in recent months, with many reports suggesting that Arsenal and Manchester United are both interested in a potential £75 million deal for the star.

LIVERPOOL should have made a move for Guehi, he might have preferred the move to Anfield over City, but they waited and instead missed out on a player who could have really improved that back line.
Diomande is a quality centre-back who has impressed in the Portuguese league, so to come to the Premier League and play for one of the biggest clubs in world football would be a huge step forward.
He would need time to adapt to England. He would be a risky signing, but a solid one. While he has all the qualities to certainly match up with the best players the Premier League has to offer, is he really worth £75m?
