Sky journalist drops major Glasner update as Klopp eyes Crystal Palace blow
da bwin： Amid an incredible run of form, Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg has now delivered the latest update on Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace future with one move already made.
Jurgen Klopp makes contact with Palace boss Glasner
da brwin： The Eagles have been excellent since the turn of the year, putting the frustrations of the first-half of the campaign to one side and pushing on to secure a place in the FA Cup semi-finals and pushing for a top-half finish. If there were any questions over Glasner’s ability to take this current side to a new level then those have now been answered in emphatic fashion.

Arsenal are desperate to keep him…
Without a defeat to their name in their last five games in all competitions and with just one goal conceded in that time, the sky is the limit for Palace as the Premier League season nears its conclusion. Glasner, even after losing Michael Olise last summer, has found a way to turn his side into the best version that Selhurst Park has seen during his tenure.
That success could yet come with unfortunate consequences. Just as Olise’s form did last season, top European clubs will be keeping an eye on the Austrian manager as he continues to impress on all fronts.
According to Sky Sports’ Plettenberg, RB Leipzig and Red Bull chief Jurgen Klopp have now made contact with Glasner over a move to the German club after they sacked Marco Rose last week. With just over a year remaining until the Austrian’s Palace contract runs out, Leipzig will have to pay a fee but will at least have the chance to trigger an exit option – much to the Eagles’ frustration.
After such an impressive run, Palace will undoubtedly be desperate to keep hold of Glasner, who they’ll hope feels there’s still work to be done in South London.
Crystal Palace must do everything to keep Glasner
For some time, Crystal Palace were stuck in a Roy Hodgson cycle which may have kept them up – and he deserves great credit for that – but ultimately settled for mediocrity. Patrick Vieira threatened to disrupt that only for his reign to end in failure and the cycle to continue. Glasner, however, hasn’t just disrupted it, he’s torn the usual script apart.
With the chance to step into an FA Cup final with victory over Aston Villa this month, Glasner has it all to play for at Crystal Palace and should hand both Klopp and Leipzig a swift rejection.
