According to the Mirror, Liverpool refused to lend Joe Gomez, and coach Slott believes that Gomez's versatility is very important.

Although Liverpool are still trying to sign Guy and Isaac, they have no intention of letting Gomez go. Gomez's versatility is seen as a valuable asset, and coach Slott is unwilling to let him go, especially when the team's defense is not performing well.

Liverpool's defensive performance at the beginning of the season was worrying, further triggering calls from the outside world for strengthening the defense. Gee was one of the main targets, but he had no intention of renewing his contract with Crystal Palace, which meant Crystal Palace might have to sell him. However, Crystal Palace wants high transfer fees, while Liverpool is reluctant to pay a big fee for a player whose contract is about to expire.

To ensure adequate defense coverage, Crystal Palace attempted to facilitate Gee's transfer by borrowing Gomez. It is reported that if Gomez can join Crystal Palace on loan, they are willing to accept an offer of about £30 million. However, Liverpool firmly rejected the proposal, believing that Gomez's versatility is very important, especially when the team needs to strengthen the defense.

Liverpool legend Carragher criticized the team's defense, saying that their defense line is almost useless except Alison and Van Dijk and is easily broken by opponents. Crystal Palace coach Glasner also made it clear that he wanted to keep Guy, saying he was irreplaceable.

Crystal Palace's transfer operation will be the key to deciding whether to sell Gee. They hope to introduce two central defenders, which may open the door for Gee's departure. Canvo, Toulouse, is one of their goals, and the negotiations have entered a later stage. In addition, they are also paying attention to Akanji, but he will be reserved for transfers, and Portugal Sports' Diormander is the preferred target, but financial problems become the main obstacle.
