Crystal Palace is making a move for Bournemouth manager Andoni Iraola as they look to replace Oliver Glasner this summer. Iraola, who's out of contract at the end of the season, has been impressing with his intense and attacking football style at Bournemouth. He's also been linked with Athletic Bilbao, his former club, and other top teams like Manchester United and Tottenham.

Iraola's contract situation is uncertain, and Crystal Palace is monitoring it closely. The Eagles are keen on his progressive style, which could be a great fit for their long-term project. With Glasner's departure confirmed, Palace needs a new manager, and Iraola is emerging as a top candidate.

Crystal Palace will part ways with Oliver Glasner at the end of the season, and there's speculation about Iraola's future, with his contract expiring soon. The door's open for him to move to South London, but Iraola's staying coy.

When asked about the rumors, Iraola said, “No, it doesn't have anything to do with me. Probably as a supporter because it is my club, but no, it doesn't affect the situation.” He seems content at the club for now, let's see what happens next.

“I've said it a lot of times I'm very happy here. I have a great relationship with the club and it's true that we will have to take a decision according to this, but it's a situation I have had most of my years as manager. It is not new to me.”

The Telegraph reports that Crystal Palace is considering making a surprise offer to Andoni Iraola, which would be an unusual move between two Premier League teams. Earlier, Athletic Club had shown interest, but Palace is now stepping up their pursuit.

Iraola has a decent record in England, winning 37 of 107 league matches over nearly three years. His teams have scored 158 goals and conceded 161. Currently, Bournemouth is above Crystal Palace in the table as they push for a European spot in the final seven games of the season.

With his contract expiring soon, Iraola's future is uncertain, and more clubs are taking notice of his impressive work at Bournemouth. He'll have to decide his next move soon, with several clubs interested in his services.
