Tottenham are looking to replace Ange Postecoglou this summer – but a new hire might not be cheap.
The Australian still has two years remaining on his contract – which is believed to be worth £5m annually – so Daniel Levy will need to pay off the man born in Greece if a parting of ways is to happen.
That is, of course, unless the 59-year-old chooses to resign.
TBR Football understand Tottenham have approached Oliver Glasner of Crystal Palace as the hunt to replace Ange Postecoglou begins – although a story from BILD in Germany might now put Spurs off.
Crystal Palace want £17m for Oliver Glasner
The German news outlet now state that Crystal Palace are demanding €20m (£17m) in compensation to let the Austrian leave, with RB Leipzig also keen to hire him.
Glasner still has just over 12 months remaining on his contract, and BILD state that there is no release clause in his deal at Selhurst Park, so a departure would have to be negotiated with Steve Parish, Chairman of Crystal Palace.
Crystal Palace have already shown they will not be bullied over the 50-year-old, with BILD adding that the south Londoners even rejected €18m (£15m) from Bayern Munich before the Bavarians opted to hire Vincent Kompany instead last year.
However, if Tottenham do opt to stump up the £17m asking price, Glasner’s salary is not expected to be an issue.

BILD claim that the man from Salzburg earns €5m (£4.3m) annually, which is less than Postecoglou.
Glasner – who Parish called an “exciting” coach – has impressively won 25 and drawn 13 of his 51 games in charge of Crystal Palace since replacing Roy Hodgson in February 2024.
Daniel Levy has a cheaper option
Thiago Motta has also been linked to Tottenham – and the Italian could be viewed as a more attractive option than Glasner by Levy, mainly due to finances.
The 42-year-old was recently sacked by Juventus, so Spurs won’t need to spend millions in compensation to bring him to N17.
