Steve Parish could save Crystal Palace millions with these two ideal transfer deals

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish could save the club millions as he navigates the transfer market with the tact and cleverness that have kept Palace in the Premier League for the last 10 years. The Eagles agreed to sell Joachim Andersen to Fulham for £30 million and have already found his replacement in Maxence Lacroix for a fee of €21 million—almost a £10 million profit from the sale of Andersen.

For a club like Palace, £10 million could cover the salaries of five players, providing a significant boost to their finances in the coming year. It’s not that they were in danger of relegation or struggling with the Premier League’s sustainability rules, but prudent financial management is always beneficial.

There’s also the ongoing Marc Guehi situation. LondonWorld has been told that Palace will only consider a deal if it's worth up to £70 million.

Parish has already identified replacements, with Chelsea’s Trevoh Chalobah and Liverpool's Joe Gomez being strongly tipped to come in if Guehi were to leave. Both options have Premier League experience and would arrive having played a lot of football in their careers. They would also likely be deals under £20 million with reasonable wages, helping the club save millions.

In today’s transfer market, where every player seems overpriced, these two potential transfers would allow Palace to immediately replace some of their top players without breaking the bank while maintaining the same level of quality.

The work Parish has done at Selhurst Park is underrated, but his handling of this transfer window is another example of how to keep a team competing in the Premier League while making a profit and ensuring the club's long-term sustainability. The next 48 hours will be pivotal and potentially season-defining.
