The winger for Palace has a £35 million release clause, and Chelsea were interested in signing him during the summer transfer window.
Nevertheless, Olise chose to stay in SE London, turning down their offer and inking a new four-year contract with Selhurst Park.
Speculation has claimed that Olise’s new contract with Palace contains a release provision that would allow United to sign him this summer, making him the first player to join Old Trafford during the Sir Jim Ratcliffe era.
Before joining Reading, the winger, who was born in Hammersmith, had brief stints with Chelsea, Arsenal, and Manchester City. After leaving the Royals for Palace in 2021, he quickly became one of the top wingers in the league.
According to football.london, Olise would prefer a transfer to United, the team he has supported since he was a teenager, even though Chelsea would love to have him return to west London.
It is commonly believed that Olise would depart Palace at the conclusion of the season, and he is reportedly aware of interest from both clubs.
Thought to be far more than £35 million, the precise amount of Olise’s most recent release clause is still a mystеry.
United are holding out hope that they can recruit Olise for less than that release fee, and they may even offer Palace Aaron Wan-Bissaka in exchange.
With an unclear future at Old Trafford, Wan-Bissaka left the Eagles for United in 2019 in a £50 million move.
Up front and in wide areas, United’s оffensive has been abysmal this season.
Due to Marcus Rashford’s lackluster season and Antony’s inability to produce any kind of оffensive production, 19-year-old Alejandro Garnacho has emerged as the team’s lone wing spark.
However, with his loan at Borussia Dortmund ending this month, Jadon Sancho’s long-term prospects appear gloomy.
