Earlier today, we covered a report from the Leipzig edition of Bild which stated Sheffield Wednesday’s Danny Röhl is now a more serious candidate for RB Leipzig.
He was one of four candidates named, with Crystal Palace’s Oliver Glasner being another. Last week, we covered claims from Austria which stated sources close to the Eagles manager were talking down any eagerness to move to the Bundesliga club. Various factors, including a perceived lack of power, with others such as Jürgen Klopp having input, would be a concern and Glasner wasn’t keen to leave English football for such a scenario.
Tottenham Hotspur are now being presented by the German media as another problem. Spurs haven’t had the season they hoped for, and Ange Postecoglou’s time in charge at Tottenham has come under some question.
This week’s edition of SportBild‘s magazine says Glasner remains a candidate and then states Tottenham ‘can offer a higher salary’ and therefore beat RB Leipzig to the Crystal Palace manager. The German media may want to dismiss Tottenham being more attractive as being solely down to money, but that probably isn’t the case given the previous reports from Austria.
Intriguingly, it’s stated Tottenham isn’t the only Premier League club to have made contact.
