Mark Guehi transfer news: Crystal Palace could sell defender to Manchester City, says Oliver Glasner

Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Barcelona, ​​Inter Milan and Atletico Madrid are among the European clubs that have shown interest in signing Guehi on a free transfer, and he could sign a pre-contract agreement with an overseas club from this month.

“If you just value sport, everyone at the club will say Mark should stay,” Glasner added. “The president will tell you the same thing. But it’s not one-dimensional. If you see the financial situation, it’s very important.

“If someone comes, there will come a moment when the club says: ‘Now the financial issue is more important than the sporting issue.’

“There will be a threshold at which the club has to say it will happen, as long as Mark says ‘I want to leave’, because the final decision is always up to the player.”

Guehi helped Palace finish 12th last season and win the FA Cup, qualifying for Europe for the first time in the club’s history.

The Eagles then won the Community Shield in August, beating Premier League champions Liverpool on penalties, finishing 14th in the table and qualifying for the knockout stage of the UEFA Conference League.

“The president rejected many offers in the summer because we want to play a successful season and we want to win the Community Shield,” Glasner added. “So Mark is important, and then he turns down the offer.

“The threshold at that time, the money we were offered was not above it. It may have been close, but it was not above it.”
