Foden expressed his feelings about Liverpool s transfer plan after the 35 million deal is close to completion

Liverpool is planning to buy Crystal Palace defender Mark Guy, and the England international has long been praised by national teammate Phil Foden as the core figure in the locker room. With Jarrell Karner about to leave the team, the Reds' pursuit of Gey has entered an accelerated stage.

In April this year, captain Virgil van Dijk renewed his contract for two years to inject stability into Liverpool's defense line, but the 22-year-old local central defender Quarner is about to join Leverkusen in the Bundesliga for £35 million. Once the deal is completed, except for Van Dijk, only Ibrahim Conat and versatile Joe Gomez are left in the first-team center back of the Reds, and the need for signings is imminent.

24-year-old Gee entered his sight from this. According to the Telegraph, since Karner is about to leave the team, Gey, who has only one year left in the contract, became the target of the Reds. Although the transfer fee has not been clarified, Crystal Palace rejected Tottenham's £70 million offer in January this year.

After performing in the 2024 European Cup, Guy was praised by Foden on the official English channel: "He is the team leader and he is calm in any situation. From his partner experience, he can always show his strength on the court. "Former Reds forward Michael Irving also added: "The left-footed central defender is now priceless, and he has proven to be able to gain a foothold in the top court and is completely suitable for Liverpool. "

After joining Crystal Palace from Chelsea in 2021, Guy has gradually become the cornerstone of the team and is a key member of the FA Cup final this year. Although Wembley was asked about the transfer rumors before the final battle, he remained low-key: "I always give my all to Crystal Palace, and the club gave me too much. The contract is in place, what will happen in the future? I just want to focus on the present. "
