Riad will be expected to fill one of the three centre-back positions in Oliver Glasner's line-up [Getty Images]Barcelona defender Chadi Riad, who spent last season on loan at Real Betis, will have a medical at Crystal Palace this week before joining the Eagles in a move worth £12m plus £2m in add-ons. Palace have been in talks since last week over the centre-back and a deal now appears close to completion. The 20-year-old, who has played twice for Morocco, joined Betis from Barcelona last summer and made 30 appearances last season. Palace's England defender Marc Guehi is of interest to a number of teams - including being linked to Manchester United - as he enters the final two years of his contract this summer. Guehi is one of four Palace players in England manager Gareth Southgate’s provisional squad for Euro 2024.
