The centre-back played the full game in Palace\u2019s 3-0 win over Aston Villa on Sunday and scored their second goal with a curling shot past Marco Bizot.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s so professional and it was clear he would play today,\u201d Glasner said in his post-match press conference. \u201cI can say it with clarity, and I said it to the chairman that it\u2019s nothing to do with Oliver Glasner but we need to keep Marc to play a successful season.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had a meeting in March where we talked about the situation so again we know how the situation is and we have an agreement that we could sell Marc if we have the right replacement in. We wanted to have this replacement at the beginning of the pre-season to be independent from this situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat was on July 9 (the season started), it\u2019s August 31 and there is no replacement in the building so it\u2019s clear one part of the agreement is not fulfilled that means we can\u2019t sell Marc.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not a wish or gift for Oliver Glasner, it\u2019s necessary for playing a successful season. We had a great start and I think our fans deserve to have the best players available. I know if we don\u2019t sell Marc, he will accept it. He loves the club and team, he feels the appreciation and we feel the same from his side. That\u2019s why I have to say we need to keep him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Palace have been weighing up whether to sell Guehi due to his contract situation, with no indication that he is prepared to sign a new deal. That would mean losing the 25-year-old on a free transfer next summer if he is not sold before the window closes and does not have a change of heart on agreeing fresh terms.<\/p>\n
Parish told reporters after Palace\u2019s penalty shootout victory over Liverpool in the Community Shield earlier this month that the club might have to sell the centre-back if a suitable offer was received, having turned down bids last summer and again in January.<\/p>\n

Glasner said he accepts the club may find it enticing to sell from a financial perspective and that makes it a difficult decision, but believes if the club doesn\u2019t want to go backwards, then Guehi must stay.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere is no deal,\u201d Glasner said. \u201cWe can decide, he\u2019s our player, he\u2019s under contract, he\u2019s not striking. Nobody forces anybody to sign a deal. It\u2019s up to us. The only one who decides if Marc stays at Palace or not is our chairman.<\/p>\n
\u201cI agree with what the chairman said \u2014 it\u2019s a situation when a player has one year left on contract. That\u2019s why we talked in March about it.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor me, there is no option to sell him. I don\u2019t have the final decision.<\/p>\n
\u201cI can be that clear because I have been that clear internally as well. I completely understand the club, the club completely understands me. The club has to take a decision which direction it has to go. Let\u2019s see what happens tomorrow.<\/p>\n
\u201c(I understand it) from a financial perspective. It\u2019s a tempting situation. It\u2019s a challenging situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI completely understand. But I\u2019m responsible for sports, I think this group. The players and staff did fantastic in the last couple of months and if we want to progress, we have to keep him. If we accept maybe falling a step back, we sell him.\u201d<\/p>\n
