Man Utd frontrunners to land Michael Olise ahead of Arsenal and Chelsea as transfer release clause is revealed


MANCHESTER UNITED are rated favourites to land Michael Olise ahead of Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.

Crystal Palace’s uncapped winger, 22, reportedly has a £50million-plus release clause becoming active this summer.

It’s understood United’s new minority owners INEOS regard Olise as a core transfer target in what could be a major summer shake-up.

ESPN reckon the Red Devils are frontrunners for the France Under-21 star, despite being unable to offer Champions League football next term.

United could offer former Eagles right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka  in part-exchange.

Meanwhile, wideman Jadon Sancho seems certain to depart Old Trafford permanently this summer, having fallen out with boss Erik ten Hag before thriving on loan with old club Borussia Dortmund.

Olise’s standing has remained sky high with Premier League giants this season, even though hamstring problems have limited his game-time.

The London-born ace’s release clause is said to be around £50m-£60m – a huge rise on the £35m figure in his previous clause.

Chelsea are thought to have come close to signing Olise last summer.

Arsenal have been persistent admirers too, while Liverpool and even Manchester City have been linked with him over the current campaign.

Olise was with the Gunners, Chelsea for seven years and Man City as a kid.

He was then at Reading from 2017-21 before joining Palace.

Olise has now emerged as something of a goal-making king, notching 20 assists in 79 Prem games, as well as scoring 11 times.

And not surprisingly the Eagles would love to somehow fend off so-called bigger clubs and keep him for at least another year.
