Glasner contract talks with Palace expected to accelerate during international break | OneFootball

Crystal Palace are preparing to step up contract talks with Oliver Glasner during the international break.

Glasner’s deal at Selhurst Park expires at the end of the season, and Palace are determined to secure his long-term future after he guided them to FA Cup success last season.

Sky Sports News claims discussions between Palace and Glasner have already taken place. He wants assurances that the club will continue to back him in the transfer market.

He has been vocal about his concerns over recent recruitment, despite the squad still delivering results on the pitch.

Palace supporters have rallied behind Glasner, who has overseen a 19-game unbeaten streak that now stands as a club record. His side opened their Europa Conference League group stage with a victory over Dynamo Kyiv in Poland, underlining their progress since his appointment last year.

But his rising profile has not gone unnoticed. Manchester United have been linked with Glasner as doubts linger over Ruben Amorim’s future.

Insiders suggest Glasner has not rejected a contract offer, contrary to speculation, and that talks are expected to accelerate in the coming weeks.

Keeping him would be a significant statement at a time when captain Marc Guehi is expected to leave at the end of his contract and playmaker Adam Wharton is attracting elite interest.

Glasner has given mixed signals. He praised chairman Steve Parish for blocking Guehi’s late move to Liverpool on deadline day, describing it as a show of ambition.

He has also expressed frustration at what he viewed as passive business in recent windows, hinting that his long-term commitment depends on Palace matching his ambitions.

Palace can point to momentum on the pitch and optimism in the stands. But with Glasner’s stock at its highest, they face a battle to convince him that Selhurst Park is the right place to continue his career.
