Like Captain Mark Guech, Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace contract will also be appearing next summer, and after recently snabbing RB Leipzig, few people will blame him if he wants to explore his options.
Last summer, Bayern Munich was ready to pay £15.5 million to land Crystal Palace boss Oliver Grassner. This figure would have surpassed the £15 million package reported in September 2022 Chelsea’s £15 million package paid to Graham Potter’s Brighton, representing the manager’s world record fee.
Steve Parish was solid and his tough stance paid off beautifully at the end of the season, with the Austrians fired the Eagles to FA Cup glory. On the eve of Chelsea’s Palace’s Premier League opening game, Glasner was once again forced to answer troubling questions about the future of Mark Guech and Ebebech Eze, who joined Arsenal with a £67.5 million move.
Like Guehi, Glasner’s contract will also appear next summer, and after recently snuggling RB Leipzig, few people will blame him if he wants to explore his options. The palace’s historic FA Cup victory is supposed to represent the platform to build.
Instead, the club spent just £2 million on signing £200 million – second-choice goalkeepers Water Benitez and backup wing back Borna Sosa.
Palace could still lose Guehi after Parish publicly encouraged the defender’s bid after Community Shield wins via Liverpool. Glasner is worth better, and it doesn’t even consider the palace’s shambolic relegation to the conference league.

The Palace faced Norwegian attire free kicks in Game 2 of the playoffs on Thursday night, holding a narrow first leg lead of 1-0, and have already lost Eddie Nketia and Kawada Daikoku due to injuries in recent weeks. Their teams grow significantly when tackling European football demands.
The palace needs to support the boss. Otherwise, you risk losing him. Just like Fulham’s Marco Silva – his performance justifies investment, but both managers remain dangerously short in the market.
To make the problem worse for Glasner, he had to sit down and see Nottingham Forest, which had taken away the palace’s location in the Europa League.
Over the past few weeks, Forest has made progress in many deals for James McAtee, Arnaud Karimend, Omali Hutchinson and Douglas Lewis.
Evangelos Marinakis is not a favorite of everyone, but no one can blame his ambitions. The palace doesn’t exactly sit in their hands – they made an approach for Leicester’s Bilal El Cannas, tied with the movement of former Lone Star Conor Gallagher, who is currently playing with Atletico Madrid in Spain.
However, the lack of progress in new arrivals is primarily concerned. If they kick on again this season, they will have to put together their actions immediately.
