The in-demand England defender remains a transfer target for Liverpool, but there are no guarantees he will join the Reds in January or at the end of the season

Oliver Glasner has said he expects Marc Guehi to remain at Crystal Palace this window and the player will only leave if he forces through a move and the Eagles receive a “massive” offer for the player.

Guehi, who nearly joined Liverpool on transfer deadline in September, has attracted widespread interest from Europe’s top clubs. The Reds are still keen on the England international, while Manchester City has been linked with a January move.

With Guehi’s contract set to expire this summer, Palace is braced for his exit at some point this year, but Glasner hopes the defender remains at Selhurst Park for the rest of the season, especially given the Eagles could still end the campaign with Conference League glory.

The Austrian has previously denied reports that he threatened to resign last summer when Guehi nearly joined Liverpool and, speaking after Wednesday’s draw against Aston Villa, reiterated his belief that the in-demand center-back will not move on this window.

"I think Marc will stay but if Marc says 'I want to leave', and a club pays massive money - with five months left of a contract - every player will leave if you're playing for a club like Crystal Palace," he told Sky Sports.

"I'm pretty sure our chairman will ask for a very high price for him and then let's see. I don't know if Marc wants to leave."

Asked if he was concerned Guehi could leave in January, Glanser replied: "No more worried than in the summer because the summer would've been the same.

"If the offer would have been high enough that the club is fine with it, and if Marc wanted to go, he wouldn't be a Crystal Palace player anymore.

"I think last January would've been the same and the year before would be the same. Every single player has a price where the club will sell him when you're Crystal Palace and maybe because we're not the end of the food chain in football.

"For me it was a little bit surprising what was made out of it, because it's the exactly same situation as it was in the summer," he added.

"Right now, when I see him playing, when I see him training, when I see his commitment and when we are talking quite often together, then I think the fans can be really be calm but you never know what will happen in football."
