WHAT HAPPENED?
When the Bavarians asked the Premier League side about Glasner's availability, the club notified them that they expected a compensation package of €100 million (£86m/$125.5m), as per Bild [via GFNG]. The demand immediately dissolved Der Rekordmeister's interest in the Austrian manager.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
As per reports, Glasner was keen on making the move to Bayern Munich as he dreams of winning the Champions League. However, the Austrian has now accepted the Palace board's decision and will fulfil his contract with the club until 2026.
