According to the Spanish media Daily Sports, Barcelona is interested in Crystal Palace central defender Gei.

The transfer market closed on Monday, but Barcelona's sports management did not stop. They continued to pay close attention to any trends and look at the future. One of the positions the team may need to strengthen next season is central defender. Inigo Martinez has left the team this summer, and Christensen may also leave the club in a year as the Danish player's contract expires on June 30 and there is no plan to renew the contract yet.

Against this background, news from England said that Barcelona is paying attention to and intends to introduce Crystal Palace 25-year-old central defender Gee, who is a regular visitor under England coach Tuchel. Guy had a chance to join Liverpool this summer, but the two clubs failed to reach an agreement, which disappointed the players.

Guy is a very attractive signing target as his contract expires on June 30, 2026, so he may join as a free agent and he has rejected any negotiations for a renewal with Crystal Palace. Despite this, Barcelona will face competition, Real Madrid is also paying attention to Guy, and Liverpool has not given up on introducing him, and the Reds may take action again in the winter window.

Gey has played all the games so far this season and scored a goal. He is a strong, fast and good at one-on-one central defender. He performed well in both high-altitude top and ground defense. He has become a highlight in the last European Cup, and his level has continued to improve in recent seasons.
