Michael Olise, a player who has caught the attention of Manchester United, has expressed his desire to join the team at Old Trafford once the transfer market reopens at the end of the season.
Olise is a player that Man United may consider purchasing in the upcoming summer transfer window, as Sir Jim Ratcliffe looks to change the team’s approach to recruitment.
Various Premier League teams are now putting pressure on the Red Devils, as potential suitors contemplate whether or not to activate the release clause of Crystal Palace’s talented winger.
Respected journalist Ben Jacobs has become aware that Olise has been swayed by the opportunity to play at Old Trafford.
Jacobs has received information suggesting that Olise may depart from Crystal Palace in the summer, despite having signed a new contract with the club just a few months ago. By demonstrating his willingness to take on a new challenge and move to Old Trafford, he has given Manchester United a renewed hope in their efforts to fend off competition for his services.
Transfer expert Jacobs understands that Ratcliffe is prepared to approve a move for the former Reading star. He stated the following to GIVEMESPORT:
“Even though Olise signed a new contract following Chelsea’s failure to activate his complex release clause, there is no doubt that he could potentially leave in 2024.
“Manchester United’s previous management, prior to INEOS, were very interested in Olise, and he is also enticed by the idea of joining Old Trafford.
“All signs point to Sir Jim Ratcliffe and INEOS supporting this move, as part of their thorough research upon entering the football club involved reviewing previous transfer plans for January, as well as summer window preparations.
“There is a sense of continuity between Manchester United’s current recruitment team and any actions taken by INEOS. They are fond of players with a profile like Olise, making him a concrete target for the summer.”
Unfortunately, Olise aggravated his hamstring injury during Crystal Palace’s recent defeat to Brighton & Hove Albion, which will keep him sidelined for up to two months. This setback has hindered his chances of attracting more potential suitors. Olise had come on as a substitute at half-time in an attempt to ignite a comeback at the Amex Stadium.
Despite being limited to just 755 minutes of playing time this season due to injury concerns, the talented French star has managed to score six goals and provide three assists.
Reports have linked Olise with a potential move to Manchester United’s Premier League rivals, Liverpool and Manchester City. This could potentially ignite a bidding war between the top clubs in the Premier League during the summer transfer window.
