Newcastle United have reportedly contacted Crystal Palace for £60 million-rated attacker Michael Olise, a target for Chelsea and Manchester United.
Newcastle United is reportedly interested in Michael Olise, according to an i News report. To consider a move for the teenage attacker, whose price tag is £60 million, the Magpies have gotten in touch with Crystal Palace. The 22-year-old prodigy is also being pursued by Manchester United and Chelsea, two other powerful Premier League teams.
The tale of Michael Olise
Michael Olise, who joined Crystal Palace from Reading in July 2021, has grown to be one of the most sought-after footballers in the world. During his childhood career, the London-born French youth international played for a number of prestigious clubs, such as Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester City.
That demonstrated Olise’s potential prior to his being a highly sought-after asset on the transfer market. Despite 2023–24 being an injury-plagued season, the 22-year-old demonstrated his abilities in yet another campaign, tallying ten goals and six assists in 19 Premier League games. Chelsea, Manchester United, and Newcastle United have all been made aware of the young player’s noteworthy growth.
According to recent sources, Chelsea appears to be in the lead to sign Michael Olise. The Blues outbid the other bidders for the Crystal Palace playmaker, who could prove to be a better player than Mykhailo Mudryk and Noni Madueke. Chelsea need to have the money to pay his £60 million price tag as well.
In the meantime, it seems sense that Manchester United would be interested in Michael Olise. The Red Devils have issues at the right-wing spot because both Antony and Jadon Sancho don’t perform well there. Mason Greenwood is also not part of the Old Trafford plan of things. Thus, Manchester United may pursue Olise.
According to the most recent source, Newcastle United has reached out to Crystal Palace in an attempt to work out a deal for the 22-year-old. Miguel Almiron is available for sale this summer from the Magpies. Thus, Olise is a viable replacement for the Paraguayan international at Newcastle United.
Olise’s transfer is financially feasible for Chelsea, Manchester United, and Newcastle United. For the three Premier League clubs, though, the Profit and Sustainability Rules of the Premier League may be a spoiler.
