TA: Crystal Palace will eventually force Guy, he will not join Liverpool this summer

Hupu September 2nd DO exclusively, although Liverpool has reached an agreement with Mark Gerch to bring the defender to Liverpool, he is expected to remain at Crystal Palace.

The 25-year-old England international completed at least part of his medical examination after the two clubs met a transfer fee of £35 million.

The parties also reached personal terms for a five-year contract that lasts until 2030.

head coach Oliver Glasner has been strongly opposed to the sale of Gerch this summer and firmly stated that the captain cannot be allowed to leave unless a suitable replacement is found.

Before the transfer deadline at 7pm on Monday, Crystal Palace had reached a transfer agreement with Toulouse's young defender Jady Canwater, but the transfer of Igor Julio, which West Ham United also pursued, failed to come true.

Liverpool has submitted a contract to give Gerch more time, but Gerch will currently stay at Selhurst Park Stadium, and his contract will expire at the end of the season.

If his contract expires without renewal, he will be able to transfer to the club of his choice as a free agent without paying a transfer fee to Crystal Palace.
