RB Leipzig have intensified their quest to lure Oliver Glasner away from Crystal Palace.
Sources have told talkSPORT that club staff fear Glasner will jump ship at the end of the season.
Talks between Leipzig and Glasner’s representatives have taken place after the Austrian was identified by Red Bull’s Head of Global Soccer Jurgen Klopp as a top target.
Palace would like Glasner to sign an extension to his contract but Leipzig are currently just two points off a Champions League place with two games of the Bundesliga season left.
After leading Palace to only their third FA Cup final, Glasner is also likely to seek assurances from Palace owner Steve Parish he will be backed in the transfer market.
Star defender Marc Guehi, wanted by Newcastle, looks certain to leave and there is interest in Eberechi Eze, Tyrick Mitchell and Jean-Philippe Mateta.
