Oliver Glasner has raised concerns over his Crystal Palace future just a matter of days out from the Premier League season.

The Eagles boss has taken the club to new heights since taking over from Roy Hodgson in February 2024, winning the FA Cup last season and taking them into European football – though what competition that will be in remains to be seen.

He has since been linked with a number of sides, including Tottenham and Bayern Munich, but has so far stayed put and showed loyalty to the club.

Guehi, who is Palace’s captain, has one year left on his contract and continues to be linked to a plethora of clubs, with Liverpool the latest side to express their interest on the back of heavy links to Newcastle last season.

Speaking ahead of the Community Shield against Liverpool at Wembley on Sunday, Glasner raised eyebrows when he said: ‘Marc and me, we have the same fate.’

When asked if his decision over whether he stays at the club could be impacted by what happens in the transfer window, he added: ‘We will see.’

After leading Palace to Europe for the first time in their history, Glasner was reportedly promised that the club wouldn’t make the same mistakes in leaving their business late and thus having a slow start to the season.

This summer, though, they are yet to make a first team signing. Instead, focus has been on some of their star men potentially leaving, such as Guehi and Eberechi Eze.

‘I said if we want to be better than last year, then it’s my advice, “Let’s sign at least two players, then we can achieve this”,’ Glasner said. ‘To be competitive in four competitions. If somebody thinks that’s nonsense, OK, let’s see.

‘If Crystal Palace wants to play European football, wants to climb the Premier League table and reproduce the success again, it’s just what you have to do. Everybody knows this in the building.

‘Of course, it helps if players are in early when you start with pre-season because here you have time to train. We are quite passive. We are short of numbers, we have to add players, especially with quality.’

Palace, meanwhile, will learn their European fate on Monday – following their high-stakes hearing in Switzerland.

Eagles officials, led by chairman Steve Parish, faced off with UEFA, Nottingham Forest and Lyon in a battle to overturn their bombshell demotion from the Europa League to the Conference League at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

A panel of three senior lawyers will deliver its verdict before close of play on Monday, leaving those involved with a nervous wait over the weekend.

‘It was a long day, very involved, very detailed,’ Parish, who left slightly early thanks to the birth of a grandson, said. ‘It’s very hard to say (how it went). ‘They listened to both sides but I don’t know.’

When asked if he was confident, Parish – who described proceedings as ‘very civilised’ took aim at those involved. ‘Given where we are it’s hard to be confident because it seems dystopian to even be in this situation,’ he said. ‘Hopefully good sense will prevail and we’ll get to the right answer.’
