The Eagles and the Cottagers have uncertainty of their own to deal with, as their respective managers have been linked with moves.

Palace boss Oliver Glasner has reportedly held talks with RB Leipzig, while Fulham’s Marco Silva is thought to be of interest to Tottenham Hotspur.

The news may come as a blow for Leicester City and Southampton, who are also said to be eyeing Rohl as they prepare to return to the Championship.

Speaking after Wednesday’s season finale draw with Watford at the weekend, Rohl said: “My picture is clear. The club knows my picture. And to continue, some ways, I think it’s important that for everyone it’s clear in which direction it goes.

“I cannot say more about this. This is then also the responsibility from the club, in which direction and what we announce. But my picture is very clear.

“If we got requests for players from a higher division, if you got requests for a manager from a higher division, I think you should all little bit proud of this journey, even as this feels not good and feels disappointment.

“This is the outcome from good work, what we did in the last 18-19 months. I think at the end everyone deserves a clear picture now. This is the most important because the club is bigger than one person and we should do this in this direction.”
