Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has voiced his frustration at the ongoing speculation surrounding Marc Guéhi, insisting the club should be in control of the narrative as interest in the defender continues to build.
Guéhi has been regularly linked with a move away from Selhurst Park, with several top Premier League sides believed to be monitoring his situation. But Glasner made it clear he is unhappy with the way the situation has played out publicly, suggesting it has created an unwanted distraction for both the player and the squad.
Speaking ahead of Palace’s next fixture, Glasner said the repeated reports and constant talk over Guéhi’s future are not helpful. He stressed that Palace have not been looking to push the player out and that any decision will be made on the club’s terms, not because of outside noise.
Palace’s position is straightforward: Guéhi remains a key figure in the team, and the club have no intention of weakening midstream without the right conditions being met. Glasner underlined that the defender is valued highly, both for what he brings on the pitch and for his leadership in the dressing room.
The manager also defended Guéhi, pointing out that the England international has stayed professional despite the headlines. Glasner indicated that his focus is on keeping the group settled and ensuring his players are not dragged into a daily cycle of speculation.
Guéhi, 23, has developed into one of the Premier League’s most dependable centre backs since arriving from Chelsea, and his performances have naturally attracted attention. With Palace aiming to build on a positive period under Glasner, the club see him as central to their plans.
For now, Palace are holding their ground. Glasner’s message was clear: if there is to be any movement on Guéhi, it will be because the club decide it is the right step—not because transfer talk has taken on a life of its own.
