Breaking news: Palace accepts lucrative offer from PL Giants club for Olise
Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner is adamant that he will be fighting hard to keep all of his players in the summer transfer window, including Manchester United-linked Michael Olise.
Olise has been a standout player for the Eagles this season despite having suffered a couple of serious injuries. From his 18 appearances, the 22-year-old has bagged ten goals and five assists which has unsurprisingly caught the eye of some of the Premier League’s top clubs.
enal haUnited and Arsve both been heavily linked with a move for the Frenchman with our colleagues at football.london understanding that the Red Devils have an advantage due to the winger’s boyhood support for the club. Eberechi Eze is another who has been regularly linked with a move away, but, discussing the summer transfer window in his latest press conference, Glasner was clear about his stance on player exits.
“I think what we can show from the sports department is that we are ambitious and they can benefit and make a big contribution to being successful. That is what we can offer them, the rest we will see.”
Olise had looked set to leave Selhurst Park last summer when Chelsea triggered the release clause in his contract. But in an unexpected turn of events, the winger backed out of the move to Stamford Bridge and signed a new deal at Palace with an increased release clause which is thought to be around £60m.
United will likely need to add at least one winger to their squad this summer considering Mason Greenwood and Jadon Sancho are both expected to be sold or loaned out ahead of next season.
