From Germany: Tottenham ‘can offer higher salary’ to manager, contact made, could beat RB Leipzig

The managerial merry-go-round is spinning faster than ever, with Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner emerging as one of the most sought-after coaches in European football.

German publication SportBild reveals Tottenham Hotspur have entered the race for the Austrian tactician, potentially derailing RB Leipzig’s pursuit as the North London club can reportedly offer significantly more attractive financial terms.

This development comes just days after Austrian sources close to Glasner downplayed his interest in the Leipzig position, citing concerns over the Bundesliga club’s power structure and the influence of figures like Jürgen Klopp in their decision-making process.

The 49-year-old has reportedly grown comfortable in English football since taking charge at Selhurst Park in February, making a premature return to Germany increasingly unlikely.

Tottenham’s unexpected emergence as suitors adds another layer of intrigue to the situation. Despite Ange Postecoglou still being in post, Spurs’ disappointing season has inevitably led to speculation about the Australian’s future.

What makes this scenario particularly fascinating is SportBild’s claim that Tottenham aren’t the only Premier League club to have approached Glasner, suggesting several English sides recognize the transformative impact he’s had during his brief time at Crystal Palace.

The financial aspect cannot be ignored – Tottenham’s potential ability to triple Glasner’s current wages would make any offer difficult to refuse.

However, those familiar with the situation emphasize that monetary considerations alone wouldn’t drive his decision.

The project’s ambition, squad quality, and degree of control over football operations would all factor heavily into any potential move.

As the managerial market heats up, Glasner finds himself in an enviable position. With RB Leipzig’s interest cooling due to his reservations and Tottenham’s superior financial muscle coming into play, the Austrian may soon face a career-defining choice.

One thing seems certain – whether at Palace, Spurs, or elsewhere, Glasner’s Premier League journey appears far from over. The coming weeks will reveal whether his immediate future lies in South London, North London, or somewhere entirely unexpected.
