Newcastle United are ready to enter the chase for Michael Olise and compete with a host of Premier League rivals for the Crystal Palace star.
According to Mail Online, Newcastle United are keen to sign Michael Olise and could push to sign the Crystal Palace forward, who will cost around £60 million. The Eagles may have no power to keep him due to a release clause in his deal, with Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United also interested in the winger.
Newcastle United to compete for Michael Olise
Michael Olise will likely be one of the transfer market’s biggest stories as he looks for a more significant challenge away from Crystal Palace. A host of clubs have shown an interest in the young forward, who may have a £60 million release clause that will become active when the season ends.
Manchester United are interested, and if they had any doubts over his quality, then Olise made a big point on Monday night with a brace and a match-winning performance. Unfortunately, the Red Devils dropped down in the standings and are now in real danger of missing European football altogether. It will become difficult for them to lure in Olise, who wants to play in the UEFA Champions League.
Chelsea tried last summer and may have retained an interest. But again, due to a lack of Champions League football, they might not pursue Olise. Newcastle United are now competing with those clubs to make their chance count in the pursuit, with the Magpies also keen on Michael Olise since last summer.
His relatively hefty £60 million price tag may prove a little tight for the Magpies, although they may have the resources to put in a concerted effort to sign the player. Newcastle United are also making a late push to compete in Europe next season, which may play a small role in this race for the Crystal Palace star.
Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City are also keen
Crystal Palace will find it challenging to hold on to Olise when the summer window opens, especially as some of the Premier League bigwigs admire the Frenchman. Liverpool consider him as a probable replacement for Mohamed Salah. But even without that factor, they could have made their presence felt for the Crystal Palace star.
Arsenal and Manchester City are admirers, as both Mikel Arteta and Pep Guardiola are keen to bring in a right-winger. However, Olise has proven he can also be a playmaker. With those three teams offering Champions League football, Manchester United, Chelsea, and Newcastle United might find it challenging to sign the Frenchman in the summer.
