Ruben Dias is facing an extended period on the sidelines due to injury.
Although Glasner does not wish to lose his captain, he acknowledges that a substantial offer could compel the club to consider the sale, as they value Guehi at £40 million.
However, Guehi himself will need persuading, especially since he is set to become a free agent in the summer, which would likely involve a considerable signing-on fee.
Glasner stated: “There will come a time when the club decides that the financial aspect takes precedence over the sporting aspect.”
“I’m not so naive to think that if a significant offer comes from City and Marc is inclined to accept it, it might happen.”
Palace had previously halted a £35 million move on deadline day last summer and have now increased their asking price, considering they would need to find a replacement for Guehi this month.
Glasner had already been seeking defensive reinforcements and disclosed that prior to City’s two injuries, they were exploring a potential acquisition of one of City’s defenders.
He added: “Perhaps we wanted to sign a player from Man City, but that’s no longer possible due to our own injuries.”
“Was that the case? Yes.”
“I know that Marc will play [against Aston Villa] tomorrow. At least, I expect him to, as he has trained.”
