Exclusive: Oliver Glasner set for Crystal Palace showdown talks..
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner is happy at Selhurst Park amid links with Bundesliga side RB Leipzig, sources have told Football Insider.
The German outfit are keen to bring him back to the Bundesliga after sacking Marco Rose in recent weeks.
However, sources say Glasner is content at Crystal Palace after transforming their form from the beginning of the 2024-25 campaign.
It is believed the Austrian is preparing for talks over a new contract – with his current deal only set to run until June 2026.
Glasner is happy at Crystal Palace amid RB Leipzig links
He has the Eagles sitting 11th in the Premier League and has the opportunity to win a trophy ahead of the FA Cup semi-final against Aston Villa later this month.
Glasner will be concentrating on ensuring there is a strong finish to the season – and possibly Palace’s first-ever major honour – before any speculation over his future.

Meanwhile, Football Insider revealed on 5 April that Crystal Palace star man Eberechi Eze is believed to be open to a move to Spurs in the upcoming summer transfer window.
However, the England international is unlikely to force through a move and will only leave if his £68million release clause is met.
He recently hit his first Three Lions goal and has racked up 17 goal contributions across all competitions for Palace this term.

Claim Made On Oliver Glasner Release Clause Amid Spurs Link..
Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner does not have a release clause in his Eagles contract, amid being linked with both Tottenham Hotspur and RB Leipzig ahead of the summer.
Tottenham are experiencing a disastrous season and it has been suggested that Ange Postecoglou is under immense pressure regarding his future at the club.
Spurs have been linked with potential replacements and Palace boss Glasner has been widely mooted as a possible option.
The German tactician joined Crystal Palace in February 2024 and has a contract with the Eagles which will keep him at the club until June 2026.
However, he is now attracting interest and Tottenham are not the only club showing interest in Glasner, as RB Leipzig are planning to take him back to Germany.
It has been suggested that the Crystal Palace boss has an exit clause in his contract which Leipzig are planning to trigger.
But according to German daily Bild (via Fussball Transfers), there is no such exit clause in Glasner’s Crystal Palace contract; a possible compensation fee of €20m has been suggested.

Oliver Glasner’s managerial career so far
Under Glasner, Crystal Palace are eleventh in the Premier League table with 43 points from 30 games and they are looking to finish in the top half of the table.
Palace are also still involved in the FA Cup and will meet Aston Villa in the semi-final later this month.
Any team who want to sign Glasner would have to pay a hefty fee to Crystal Palace and Leipzig are also looking into Sheffield Wednesday boss Danny Rohl.
It is still unclear whether Glasner would be ready to move back to Germany or whether he wants to continue his career in the Premier League.
Crystal Palace though are unlikely to want to lose him.
