Oliver Glasner has rejected suggestions he offered to quit Crystal Palace over Marc Guehi's potential deadline-day exit.

Oliver Glasner has rubbished claims that he threatened to quit as Crystal Palace manager if the club sold Marc Guehi to Liverpool as he moved to set the record straight on the transfer saga.

Never.

“And the second thing is, after many discussions, the chairman asked me, ‘Oliver, do you think we can manage the season when we sell Marc?’

“I said: 'Steve, honestly, I think we can’t manage it in the short term if we buy a 19-year-old fantastic player with about 1,000 minutes in Ligue 1 and selling our captain with about 15,000 minutes in the Premier League.

If you don’t want to have this for Crystal Palace, then we have to keep him'.

“And then he decided we keep him so big credit to the chairman.

It was just a discussion about sports.

“And he decided… big credit… he decided against the money and for the sporting prospective of Crystal Palace.

Glasner also paid tribute to Guehi for his reaction since seeing his move to Liverpool blocked, revealing that he had held talks with the England international as he confirmed he will remain as Palace captain.

“The same big credit to Marc, who handled it very well.” he said.

“So we talked on deadline day, we talked the day after deadline day when he was already in the England camp.

“And we were always having very honest talks with him, the same as before.

He will be our captain as long as he’s here because he’s just such a great player and such a great personality.

“So much noise, and at the end, the truth is what I told you now.

“And I think that’s what Crystal Palace fans deserve to know it.
