Here’s the latest on Oliver Glasner’s next club, based on recent reporting:
Crystal Palace situation (UK, late 2025–early 2026): Glasner’s contract at Crystal Palace was not extended beyond the 2025–26 season, with him indicating he wanted a fresh challenge. This has kept him linked with opportunities elsewhere, including potential moves within Europe. Palace chairman Steve Parish had suggested a desire to keep him, but Glasner prioritized clarity and a new challenge when his deal ended.[3]
January 2026 developments: Reports confirmed Glasner would depart Palace at the end of the season, with him stating plans to seek a new opportunity after his contract concludes in June 2026.[2][3]
Interest from other clubs: There has been sustained speculation about interest from top-tier clubs, including potential targets in England and abroad. Some outlets have suggested Bayer Leverkusen as a prominent option in Germany, while others note that English clubs could also be in the mix depending on openings and managerial departures.[4][7]
May 2026 context: As of May 2026, reports indicate Glasner weighing next steps, with Leverkusen reportedly acknowledging interest but Glasner allegedly preferring to stay in England if possible, though Palace options may be limited for a move within the Premier League.[5][7]
Latest read on next club: The strongest current signals tie Glasner to a move away from Crystal Palace after the 2025–26 season, with Bayer Leverkusen named as a potential suitor in Germany and Manchester United/other top English clubs frequently cited in gossip links, though concrete confirmations vary by outlet and date.[7][5]
