Crystal Palace Manager Glasner Signals Potential Exit Amid Transfer Frustrations, Seeks Key Signings

Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner has expressed significant frustration over the club's limited transfer activity this summer, emphasizing the urgent need for at least two more quality signings to compete effectively across four competitions, including European football. Despite securing European qualification through their FA Cup win, Palace's participation in either the Europa League or the Conference League remains uncertain due to an ongoing appeal regarding multi-club ownership rules. Glasner criticized the club's passive approach to the transfer window, warning that waiting for the European fate before making signings would be a mistake and could hinder long-term success. The squad has been hampered by injuries, notably to forward Eddie Nketiah, intensifying the need for reinforcements. Glasner also hinted that the club's future, including his own contract decision, could depend on the transfer window's outcome, linking his fate to key player departures such as captain Marc Guehi's potential exit. Throughout, Glasner maintains that his recommendations are driven by the club's competitiveness rather than personal demands for investment.
