Telegraph: Gee has not had a stumble with the club, and he can talk to any European giants next year to free transfers

September 2: Guy's transfer to Liverpool fell through at the last moment of the transfer window, and the Telegraph published an article talking about the situation of the deal.

As the transfer deadline approaches, Liverpool's £35m plus floating offer for Guy is becoming less attractive to Crystal Palace, as losing their captain, best player and a central defender who is enough to play for any top club in Europe is always a huge blow. Over the past year, Crystal Palace has been trying to avoid the worst situation of Gee leaving the team freely in the summer of 2026, but the situation has changed again as the alternative considerations advance and Walton and Thrall's injuries.

Part of the credit was Crystal Palace coach Glasner. After the team's 3-0 away victory over Villa, he made a clear statement: "If you want to succeed, you must keep Gei." The coach was never afraid of directly confronting the club's senior management when he coached. Of course, the club's most decision needs to consider other factors, including long-term financial health. As a small club in the Premier League, player trading has never been an easy task.

Unlike Isaac or Visa, Gey did not fall for the club, he was a dedicated and serious man who never even offered to be excluded from the game roster. When Liverpool made a offer last week, the player naturally became interested in the transfer. He thought he was likely to leave, so he recorded a farewell video in advance and stored it on a third-party server, which was leaked.

However, for Guy, by July next year, he will have the opportunity to choose the best club in the world, perhaps still Liverpool, and may even switch to other places in January next year, such as Real Madrid, the world's top free agent trader. In short, Crystal Palace is firmly convinced that Guy will become a defender at Van Dijk's level.

Crystal Palace's signing of Canvo for £21 million is considered a wonderful signing. The French U20 international from Toulouse was once the target of several clubs, although it will take some time for him to become a regular Premier League starter at the age of 19, and may be expected to become Guy's successor in time.

End, Crystal Palace Parrish met with Guy to inform him that rejecting Liverpool's offer was the best option for the club, but that would not deprive him of the transfer opportunity he won. Next January, Gee can discuss a free transfer with any European giants next summer. His success at Crystal Palace: the FA Cup and the Community Shield Championship are unprecedented. He may have more achievements in the future, but the club believes that keeping him at the last moment of the transfer window is as important as those achievements.
