Michael Olise reportedly dreams of joining Manchester United, although the Crystal Palace playmaker is also open to moving to Chelsea.
According to Academy Scoop on X, Michael Olise harbours a dream of joining Manchester United in the summer transfer window after supporting the club as a child. The Crystal Palace playmaker is also a target for Chelsea, and the 22-year-old is open to moving to Stamford Bridge.
The rise and rise of Michael Olise
Michael Olise has become a highly sought-after prospect in the market since joining Crystal Palace from Reading in July 2021. A highly-rated attacker during his time at Reading, he passed through the academies at Arsenal, Chelsea, and Manchester United before the Royals snapped him up in July 2017.
The 22-year-old has endured two injury-riddled campaigns but has maintained his high levels. Olise contributed to 16 goals in 19 Premier League appearances, finding the back of the net ten times while providing six assists. Meanwhile, the youngster’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs.
Chelsea attempted to secure Michael Olise’s services last summer before a move failed to materialise. Widespread reports have also linked him with Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester City. However, the Frenchman’s next destination might be one of Chelsea and Manchester United.
Chelsea or Manchester United: What will it be?
Chelsea’s continued interest in Michael Olise is understandable. The Blues are scouring the market for an offensive reinforcement, with the Crystal Palace playmaker emerging as a viable target. And the report has claimed that the French attacker is open to joining Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
As for Manchester United, the Red Devils want a long-sought solution to the right-wing woes by securing Olise’s services in the summer transfer window. The latest update is a shot in the arm for Manchester United, as the 22-year-old dreams of moving to Old Trafford after supporting the club during his boyhood years.
However, Academy Scoop has revealed later in the thread that the Blues are the front-runners to sign him in the summer transfer window. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can beat Manchester United to Michael Olise’s signature as the transfer battle heats up.
