"Pay 100 million"
Hoeneß call! New details about Bayern and Glasner
Bayern Munich's interest in coach Oliver Glasner was probably even greater than first suspected. New details have now been made public. According to them, honorary president Uli Hoeneß and supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge even got involved in the negotiations. In the end, they failed due to Crystal Palace's veto. 100 million euros were demanded for the Austrian.
Only a few hours had passed since Ralf Rangnick's surprising refusal, when Bayern took action again. As reported by the newspaper "Bild", it was quickly agreed internally to make enquiries with Oliver Glasner and do everything necessary to lure him to the Isar.
Sports director Max Eberl and sports director Christoph Freund contacted Glasner on May 1. Hoeneß and Rummenigge then intervened and made a commitment palatable to the 49-year-old. The Bayern bosses would even have been prepared to pay a transfer fee.
100 million euros demanded
Glasner was flattered and was certainly open to a transfer. The prospect of a Champions League title in particular would have appealed to him. His good relationship with Freund was also an important factor. But things turned out differently.
Crystal Palace had no interest in letting the successful coach go. Owner Steve Parish reacted humorlessly to the German record champions' request. "Pay 100 million euros if you want him," Bayern are said to have been told. Parish made it clear to Glasner that he was insisting on the fulfillment of his contract, which runs until 2026. Bayern were prepared to pay €18 million for their dream coach. But Palace remained stubborn and the transfer fell through.
