Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has shed light on Marc Guehi’s reaction after transfer speculation surrounding his future. Glasner admitted that the young defender initially felt a sense of disappointment when a potential move did not materialise. However, the Austrian coach emphasized that Guehi quickly came to terms with the situation and showed remarkable professionalism in handling it.
According to Glasner, Guehi reassured both his manager and teammates that he remains fully committed to Crystal Palace. The England international expressed his affection for the club, highlighting his strong connection with the team, the staff, and the supporters. He also reminded everyone that being a south London boy makes representing Palace even more meaningful to him, as it is not just a job but a source of pride and belonging.
Glasner went on to stress that Guehi’s attitude reflects the character he has always known him to possess. Rather than sulking or losing motivation, the defender has promised to give his very best every time he steps onto the pitch. This mentality, the Palace boss believes, will continue to make Guehi an important figure for the club throughout the season, both on and off the field.
In many ways, Glasner’s words underline the resilience and loyalty that Guehi embodies. While transfer rumours are an inevitable part of modern football, the young centre-back’s response shows maturity well beyond his years. His decision to focus on the present, fight for the club, and stay grounded in his south London roots is exactly the kind of leadership and commitment Crystal Palace need as they look to build on their ambitions this Premier League campaign.
