Manchester United are reportedly keen on signing 22-year-old Crystal Palace defender Michael Olise, a target for Chelsea and Liverpool.
According to a report from Football Transfers, Manchester United are prioritising a summer move for Michael Olise. The 22-year-old winger is thought to be on the radar of Chelsea and Liverpool as well.
Michael Olise is valued at £60 million, and it will be interesting to see if Manchester United can get the deal done. The Red Devils have been keen on signing him for a long time and have now identified him as a priority target.
The Red Devils have spent significant sums of money on players like Jadon Sancho and Antony in recent transfer windows. However, both players have been quite underwhelming, and they have not been able to justify their investments on them.
Manchester United need more quality and depth in the wide areas, and signing another winger would be a wise decision. Olise has proven himself in the Premier League in recent seasons, and he could prove to be a superb addition.
The French winger is likely to improve further with coaching and experience. He could be the ideal long-term investment for the Red Devils. It remains to be seen whether Manchester United are prepared to break the bank for him. They are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world, and there is no reason why they cannot afford him.
Michael Olise can transform Manchester United
Manchester United will be expected to compete for major trophies in the coming seasons, and they need quality players for that to happen. Olise will add creativity and technical ability in the final third. He has the ability to transform Manchester United in the attack.
The Frenchman has all the tools to develop into a top class attacker, and the opportunity to join a club like Manchester United will be the ideal opportunity for him. As for Chelsea, they need more quality in their attack, and the Frenchman could prove to be an upgrade on players like Raheem Sterling.
Meanwhile, Liverpool could lose Mohamed Salah in the coming months, and Olise could be a long-term replacement. Salah will enter the final year of his contract in the summer, and Liverpool could look to cash in on him if he does not sign an extension with them. But the Crystal Palace attacker reportedly prefers a move to Manchester United.
