Manchester United reportedly wants to sign Michael Olise this summer and is willing to pay a big release clause to do so.
Although Olise recently signed a new contract at Selhurst Park, the “new £100,000-a-week deal includes a release clause that takes effect in the summer,” according to the Standard.
Since returning from a hamstring injury in November, the 22-year-old has five Premier League goals in seven games, including four in his last four.
“Manchester United are interested in making Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise one of the first signings of the Sir Jim Ratcliffe era at Old Trafford,” according to a report in the Standard.
“A January move for Olise has been ruled out, but United have identified the 22-year-old as a transfer target ahead of a planned squad overhaul at the end of the season.”
“Olise signed a four-year contract with Palace in August, but his new £100,000-per-week contract includes a release clause that kicks in this summer.”
“The size of that release clause is unknown, but it is likely to be much larger than the £35 million release clause in his previous Palace contract.”
“Olise is regarded as a player who could help United’s ailing attack.”
“Jadon Sancho could be sold as part of a major summer shake-up, Anthony Martial is out of contract at the end of the season and £82m Antony continues to struggle.”
