Oliver Glasner stalling on new Crystal Palace contract after transfer woes with deal up in just 12 months

CRYSTAL PALACE boss Oliver Glasner will hold off signing a new deal at the club until he sees how serious the board is about backing him in the transfer market.

The Austrian manager has been a massive success in south London, defying the odds and delivering the club’s first major trophy in its history.

His FA Cup success has seen him linked to jobs elsewhere, but he has recently stated that he will remain at the club for the upcoming season.

However Glasner is in no rush to commit long-term with just over a year remaining on his current deal.

SunSport sources say he wants clear assurances that summer signings will be completed in good time before contract talks progress to the next stage.

A Palace insider told SunSport: “He has a year left on his deal and is just waiting to see how this summer goes before signing a new one.

“He was very critical of last summer, so the onus is on Parish to get deals done in time for pre-season.

“Waiting until the last couple of days to bring in four players wasn’t ideal.”

Eddie Nketiah, Maxence Lacroix, Matt Turner and Trevoh Chalobah all arrived at the club on transfer deadline day.

Something Glasner himself highlighted during his press conference last season: “It’s not a public discussion- I’ve already mentioned it several times. We could have done better in the transfer window.

“With four signings on deadline day, it’s not how you wish a transfer window would work.”

The Eagles are keen to build on a promising end to the campaign and Sunsport exclusively reported last month that Glasner was willing to sanction the sale of the duo to fund a rebuild.

Eze has interest from Tottenham and Guehi from Newcastle.

SunSport has been told Glasner wants serious reinforcements, particularly in midfield and up front, to help Palace climb the table and mount a strong Europa League campaign, following their FA Cup triumph.

Talks between Glasner and the board are ongoing, but for now, all eyes are on the transfer window- before any pens come out.
