Crystal Palace set sights on Barcelona defender

The 20-year-old centre-back joined Betis on loan at the beginning of the recently completed LaLiga season and made 30 appearances as the club ended in seventh place on the league standings.

Riad's performances saw him earn a call-up to the Morocco national side and he played in the friendly 0-0 draw with Mauritania in March.

Palace and England defender Marc Guehi is, meanwhile, a reported target of Manchester United.

The 23-year-old centre-back is in the final two years of his contract with the Eagles, and was recently included in Gareth Southgate's provisional Three Lions squad for Euro 2024.
