Crystal Palace now complete 1st signing under Oliver Glasner contract until 2029.
Crystal Palace have now completed the first signing of the Oliver Glasner era.
After securing Premier League survival with that 2-0 win over Newcastle at the end of April, Dougie Freedman has been afforded plenty of time to charm transfer targets and convince them to move to SE25.
The transfer window officially opens on Friday 14th June, but despite that, Crystal Palace have already secured the signature of one Oliver Glasner target…
Crystal Palace finalise Chadi Riad deal
We exclusively revealed on Wednesday that Crystal Palace were close to finalising a “complicated” deal to sign Chadi Riad – the complications being that Barcelona held a buyback clause.
Now, however – according to Fabrizio Romano – any creases have been ironed out, with the reliable Italian journalist even giving this deal his trademark “here we go” as a seal of confirmation.
It is said that Riad will sign a five-year contract running until the summer of 2029, after Crystal Palace and Real Betis shook hands on a €14m (£12m) agreement.
By the sounds of Romano’s update, all the necessary paperwork is ready to be signed – as soon as the Morocco international passes his medical.
The reliable Italian adds that these medical examinations could take place next week, with Riad waiting to sign his contract.
