Oliver Glasner has set the record straight on what happened behind the scenes at Crystal Palace following Marc Guehi’s failed move to Liverpool on transfer deadline day.
The defender looked set on a move to Merseyside and had even begun his medical ahead of a switch to Anfield last week, only for the transfer to collapse at the last minute.
“The Crystal Palace fans deserve to hear how it really was.
With our schedule, and if we have an injury in the back three I think it is very risky.
“If you want this scenery and this scenario for Crystal Palace and you are fine with it, sell Marc.
If you don’t want this for Crystal Palace, you have to keep him.
“Then he decided we keep him, so big credit to the chairman
They were very honest talks, like before.”
While Guehi is understood to be extremely disappointed by the failed transfer to Liverpool, Glasner also said there is no truth in reports the 25-year-old was planning to quit as Palace captain.
“He will be our captain as long as he is here because he is a great player a great personality
I think Crystal Palace fans deserve to know it and that is how it is.”
