From Crystal Palace to Leverkusen

The newspaper reports that Bayer Leverkusen’s decision on its next manager may be imminent. And Oliver Glasner, his preferred candidate, is close to being safe.

According to information from BILD, Glasner’s agent and Leverkusen are in talks about this situation. Those conversations have now progressed much further. A formal meeting with Glassner is planned for Friday.

The German club has been following the deadline for the last one week. Glassner wanted to end the first season in the Crystal Palace and avoid interacting with any lovers up to that point.

After winning the Europa Conference League on Wednesday, he is now ready to negotiate and put forward a deal. The internal deadline for his appointment has been set at the end of May or beginning of June at the most. Glasner has been the first choice for a long time.

Leverkusen’s chances improve

Bild has learned that Leverkusen’s chances of convincing him are better than before. Oliver Glassner can imagine himself taking the job. CEO Fernando Caro and sporting director Simon Rolfes had held extensive discussions with the title-winning manager years earlier.

The question is whether Glasner wants to return to the Bundesliga. He is still attracted to the Premier League after his success at Crystal Palace. He wanted a top job, but they were already filled with other candidates.

This at least improves Leverkusen’s chances. According to BILD, what attracted Glasner is that Bayer already has a strong, developing team and the money to bring in more stars. A budget of €100m has been set for the summer.

With talks scheduled for Friday, it appears that terms will be set. And Glasner could be set for a quick return to the Bundesliga following his success at Selhurst Park.

He will also face resistance from Tottenham, who do not want to sell the youngster this summer. Whether they will have any say or not is another matter.

€15m to €60m

Luka Vuckovic is an in-demand figure and his value has increased from €15m to €60m this season. Spurs paid €11 million, so be prepared to make a huge profit in any sale.

His future will likely depend on what happens with Tottenham this season. If they are removed, there is a possibility of mass migration. Vuckovic will be among those thinking of leaving.
