Is Gueye Playing His Final Season on Purpose? 5 Reasons Why He’s Staying at Crystal Palace
The Calm Before the Storm
Let’s be real — when a top-tier defender like Cheick Tioté Gueye gets linked with Liverpool or Newcastle, people start screaming ‘transfer war!’ But here’s the twist: he’s not running. Not yet.
According to The Guardian, despite offers from multiple Premier League giants and a rumored £70M+ price tag, Gueye isn’t packing his bags. He wants stability — not just for his bank account, but for his national team future.
Why Stay When You Could Go?
He’s not renewing his contract. Crystal Palace knows that. They’re already planning to sell before he walks away free next year.
But Gueye has a different game plan: play every game this season so England doesn’t forget him at Euro 2024.
He told scouts: “I need minutes. I need consistency.” And right now? That’s exactly what Crystal Palace can offer — more than Liverpool’s crowded backline or Spurs’ shifting defensive carousel.
The World Cup Factor
Here’s where it gets personal.
For many players in England’s squad depth chart, one thing matters more than salary or prestige: being on the pitch during Euro 2024.
Gueye knows if he joins a club with three elite center-backs (think Van Dijk + Konaté), he’ll be stuck on the bench during crucial games — which could cost him a spot in Gareth Southgate’s final squad.
So instead of chasing glamour? He chooses visibility.
Transfer Rumors vs Real Strategy
Liverpool are reportedly ready to bid after selling Kostas Tsimikas. But even if they do? Their defense is already stacked.
Newcastle returned last season after abandoning talks over £60M last year — now they’re back in Europe again and might push harder.
Tottenham once offered £55M + £15M add-ons… and got rejected flatly.
Still no move made because nothing feels right. Not yet anyway.
Next Move? A Pre-Contract in January 2025?
Even if things don’t work out by June 2024? He can sign an official pre-contract with another club starting January 1st — giving him leverage without losing value to Palace for free later on.
clever stuff. This isn’t hesitation; it’s control.
One Last Truth About Modern Football:
The best players aren’t always the ones who jump first—they’re the ones who wait until they know exactly where they’re going.

Gueye’s Game Plan?
He’s not running — he’s strategizing. While Liverpool fans scream ‘transfer war!’, Gueye’s just sipping tea and counting minutes.
Why chase glamour when you can be seen? With three elite CBs at Anfield or Spurs’ shifting carousel? He’d be bench warm-up king.
But here? Every game = Euro 2024 audition. Smart move.
Even if he signs pre-contract in Jan ’25? Still holds the cards.
So yes — staying isn’t weakness. It’s control.
You think he needs a big club? Nah. He needs visibility.
What do YOU think — is this genius or just stubborn?
Comment below: who should get the real starting spot in England’s defense?
Gueye Main di Palace Buat Euro?
Wah, ternyata bukan karena enggak mau pergi—tapi karena dia lagi main peran! 😎
Gueye nggak pindah ke Liverpool atau Newcastle? Ya jelas! Soalnya kalau masuk tim yang udah ada tiga jagoan belakang, dia bakal jadi cadangan utama… dan siapa yang mau jadi pelapis di Euro 2024?
Stabilitas Lebih Penting dari Gaji
Di sini dia main reguler—setiap pertandingan penting buat nasibnya. Kalau ke klub besar? Bisa-bisa cuma lihat pertandingan dari bangku cadangan sambil ngopi.
Strategi Jitu: Nggak Pindah Tapi Tetap Heboh
Dia tahu kalau nanti Januari 2025 bisa tandatangani pre-contract tanpa rugi. Jadi sekarang? Tenang-tenang saja… tapi tetap on fire di lapangan.
Kamu pikir ini keputusan biasa? Ini game theory versi pro! 🧠
Kalau kamu jadi pelatih Inggris, mau pilih yang sering main atau yang mahal tapi cuma duduk?
Komentar deh—siapa nih pemain yang lebih cerdas: Gueye atau yang terus nyari klub glamour?
Wah, Gueye kok nggak kabur ke Liverpool atau Newcastle? Ternyata dia lagi main mind game ala strategi jagoan! 🤫
Dia tahu kalau di tim besar cuma jadi cadangan, padahal yang penting itu main di Euro 2024. Jadi lebih baik stay di Palace biar tetap jadi bintang… sambil nunggu janji-janji manis dari klub lain di Januari 2025.
Keren banget sih logikanya: bukan nggak bisa pindah—tapi pilih untuk tetap ada saat dibutuhkan.
Kalau kamu punya mimpi besar… kapan waktu terbaik buat ‘menunggu’? 😏
Gueye, Ang Lihim na Mastermind
Ano ba ‘to? Hindi siya naglalakad—nag-iisip lang. Ang gulo sa transfer market? Para sa kanya, ‘napaka-simple’.
Bakit Mananatili?
Kasi kung papasok siya sa Liverpool o Spurs, magiging benchwarmer siya sa Euro 2024. At alam mo naman—‘di pwedeng maging hero kung di nakikita.
Strategy na Parang Barong Tagalog
Nagpapahuli siya para hindi ma-eliminate ng England’s squad. Mas mahusay ang pumunta sa Palace kaysa maghihintay ng bola na walang lalaruan.
Ang Huling Tugon?
Ang mga klub ay nananawagan—pero si Gueye? May pre-contract plan na January 2025! So chill lang… bago umuusad.
Sabi nga: ‘Di lahat ng matatalino’y agad sumisibol—may ilang naghihintay hanggang malaman ang tama.
Ano ang tingin ninyo? Pwede pa bang manalo ng Euro habang nakatira sa Palace? Comment kayo! 🏆
