"A decision has already been taken, months ago, said Glasner. I had a meeting with Steve in October, the international break. We had a very long talk, and I told him: I will not sign a new contract.' We agreed at the time it was best to keep it between us. It's the best that we could do that and keep it confidential for three months."
"My latest understanding is that a deal with Marc is in the final stages. I can't confirm a club, because it's still not done but it's in the final stages. The result is that Marc doesn't play tomorrow for us. Glasner admitted the leading scorer, Jean-Philippe Mateta, would also be allowed to leave for the right offer. Juventus are interested but have not met Palace's demands."
Oliver Glasner will leave Crystal Palace at the end of the season after informing chairman Steve Parish in October that he would not sign a new contract. He and the club kept the decision confidential during a busy schedule until clarity was needed. Captain Marc Guehi is close to joining Manchester City and will not be in the squad for the Sunderland trip while that deal progresses. Leading scorer Jean-Philippe Mateta can leave for the right offer, with Juventus linked but Palace holding to a valuation. Palace have offered Angers 20m (17.3m) for Sidiki Cherif.
