Palace are still pushing for three possible deals for defenders. Brighton defender Igor Julio is undergoing a medical at the club, but is still under consideration by West Ham.
Meanwhile, Jaydee Canvot, the 19-year-old Toulouse centre-back, has now completed his Palace medical and his signing is expected to be confirmed shortly in a deal worth £20.8m.
Glasner is keen for the club to also complete a deal for Serbia international defender Strahinja Pavlovic, although it is understood negotiations are not progressing.

Palace are also considering a move for Chelsea’s Axel Disasi. The defender is a member of Chelsea’s ‘bomb squad’ of players who are not part of Enzo Maresca’s first-team squad – and are free to find another club.
The Frenchman spent last season on loan at Aston Villa.

Paul Merson heaps praise on Crystal Palace’s captain Marc Guehi as the defender is heavily linked with a move to Premier League champions Liverpool.
Paul Merson on Sky Sports:
“Guehi is a brilliant player. I really do think he’s a top centre-half – absolute class. He gets into everybody’s team, in my opinion.
“People might say he doesn’t get in at Arsenal at the moment because of their two centre-halves, but he’d be a great replacement. I know he’ll want to play, but in this day and age, when we’re throwing money like £60m, £80m, £125m about, he’s an absolute bargain for a top, top centre-half.
“I’ve heard people say, Palace could have got £70m for him last year, but they wouldn’t have won the FA Cup and the Community Shield without him. It was the best £35m saved in history.
“Getting him for £35m, in football terms that’s a cup of tea. For a 25-year-old international of that calibre, it’s an unbelievable signing. It’s the signing of the window.”
