Eagles boss Oliver Glasner has already been forced to contend with losing Michael Olise as his first full season in the dugout looms, with the winger completing a £50million switch to Bundesliga heavyweights Bayern Munich, and the Austrian tactician is eager to fend off interest in additional key men.

Although Palace have bolstered their backline options with the arrival of Chadi Riad, thanks to reaching an agreement worth up to £14million with Real Betis, chairman Steve Parish and sporting director Dougie Freedman are resisting the temptation to cash in on Andersen as the August 30 deadline edges closer.

Palace will not entertain sanctioning Andersen’s departure unless a fresh bid in the region of £35million is lodged by Fulham, according to GMS sources, and there is a serious possibility that the interest could improve the Denmark international’s chances of securing an improved contract in his current surroundings.Fulham FC - The Chiswick Calendar

The Eagles have already snubbed an opening offer worth £20million from the Cottagers, with the south Londoners eager to hold onto the 28-year-old as he features at the forefront of Glasner’s plans for the new campaign, and the hierarchy are waiting to discover whether a fresh proposal will land in the coming days.

GMS sources have been informed that Fulham’s interest could enable Andersen to bag an improved deal, having entered the final two years of his £80,000-per-week agreement, as he and his representatives are aware that Palace will be even more determined to ensure he remains at Selhurst Park if centre-back partner Marc Guehi joins Newcastle United.
