Glasner confirms transfer latest in big boost for Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace manager has confirmed Marc Guehi will remain at the club this season.
Despite Newcastle making four bids for the England centre-back, Palace held firm. Newcastle’s final bid of £65million was still below the Eagles’ valuation of Guehi, which is more than £70m.
Glasner spoke during a press conference on Friday about Guehi, in which he insisted it was “never really in doubt” that he would stay.
Guehi’s contract at Palace runs until 2026, and the Eagles were reluctant to lose him after selling fellow experienced centre-back Joachim Andersen back to Fulham for around £30m earlier this month.
The Palace manager said: “It was never really in doubt. Congratulations to Crystal Palace, to the chairman [Steve Parish], to the owners — that they didn’t give in.
“Especially after the transfer of Joachim Andersen, it was very important that Marc stays.
“Also thank you to Marc. We were always close and talking a lot. All of the rumours didn’t influence his performance, his mood, his professionalism.”
Glasner added: “He always told me he is not pushing to leave Crystal Palace and for me that is the most important thing.”
