£35 million! Liverpool officially offers Crystal Palace captain Gee

On August 31, according to The Athletic reporter David Ornstein, Liverpool has submitted a formal offer of 35 million pounds to Crystal Palace to sign 25-year-old England central defender Guy. This offer is a one-time payment and does not include any additional terms.

This Friday, Crystal Palace coach Glasner stressed that due to the tight time, captain Gee will not be allowed to leave the team; but the club will not let him leave freely next summer. Glasner's expression is inconsistent, because Gee has no intention of renewing his contract with Crystal Palace and has clearly chosen Anfield as his next stop. Selling people this summer is the wisest choice.

Crystal Palace certainly understood this truth, but they had never found a replacement for Gei. As the summer window approaches, Crystal Cake has also accelerated the pace of signings. They have had scandals with Manchester City's Akanji and Monaco's Salisu; the negotiations with Toulouse's Canevo have entered the in-depth stage, but he is not a direct replacement for Guy, but a choice to strengthen the defense regardless of whether Guy leaves the team.

With Liverpool's official offer, Crystal Palace has also put forward its own requirements. They hope to include Liverpool defender Joe Gomez on loan in the deal, but Liverpool is firm: It is impossible. Gomez's versatility makes him an important member of Slott's plan. In addition, Liverpool's defense is actually short of people. In addition to regular starters Van Dijk + Connaet, only Gomez and 18-year-old new player Leoni.

In this case, Crystal Palace can only increase Gei's asking price. According to BBC reporter Sami Mokbel, Crystal Palace responded to Liverpool's 35 million pounds offer, asking for additional 5 million pounds of floating fees and 10% future transfer share. In other words, Crystal Palace hopes to get a transfer fee of 40 million pounds from Guy and a 10% transfer share in the future.

As of now, the two sides have not reached an agreement yet. For Liverpool, if they fail to pursue Guy this summer, they can continue to pursue Guy in the winter window. By then, the asking price of Crystal Palace will definitely be much lower.
