Hupu, August 12th According to talkSport chief reporter Alex Crook, the reporter wrote a column and talked about the signing situation of many Premier League teams. It is reported that regarding the situation of Crystal Palace defender Gee, Chelsea executives have indeed thought about bringing the England international back to Stamford Bridge, but chose to give up because Crystal Palace's asking price is too high.

It is reported that Crystal Palace's valuation of Guy's £40 million this summer has prevented Chelsea from re-signing the England international. Before the start of the new season, Chelsea's defense line seemed a bit understaffed due to the injury to the ACL in the main left central defender Colville. As the Blues' main central defender last season, the Englishman played a key role in helping the team reach the top four in the Premier League and win the Club World Cup.

It is believed that the Blues had considered signing a new central defender to replace him at one point and had considered bringing Gee back to Stamford Bridge, but the current £40 million asking price for Crystal Palace is considered too high. On the contrary, Vega, who was originally expected to join Juventus, may stay in the team and provide rotations at the center back position.

Guy is also appreciated by Liverpool, and so far this summer, Guy seems to be the most likely to transfer to Anfield, and the Reds are paying close attention to him, however, they currently believe that the asking price for Crystal Palace is too high and they will only consider making an offer if the club's financial requirements are met.

The England international's contract will expire after the end of the season, when he can leave freely and will likely have clubs of his choice not only in England, but overseas.
