According To Reports Chelsea Are Ready To Battle Manchester United For The Signing Of Olise Who Is A Long Time Target For Manchester United And Have Submitted First Official Bid Of £50m For The Frenchman. Chelsea Are ‘DESPERATE’ To Sign Key Man Utd Transfer Target.
Manchester United’s recent FA Cup triumph over Manchester City, marking their first victory in the competition since 2016 under Louis van Gaal, has injected a sense of jubilation into Old Trafford. Despite initial skepticism surrounding their chances, the win has bolstered morale among fans and players alike.
However, amidst the celebrations, Manchester United faces formidable challenges in the upcoming transfer window, partly due to their eighth-place finish in the Premier League. One notable target on their radar is Michael Olise, a talented 22-year-old attacker from Crystal Palace, whose signing has received approval from the club’s hierarchy.
Olise’s stellar season, during which he notched 10 goals and provided six assists in just 19 appearances despite grappling with injuries, has attracted attention from various clubs. Despite being a lifelong fan of Manchester United, the club must contend with competition from Chelsea and Newcastle United for his signature.
Recent reports initially suggested Manchester United held the upper hand in securing Olise, given his desire to join the club. However, The Mirror has revealed Chelsea’s intention to pursue the player aggressively, irrespective of their managerial situation, with a reported offer of £60 million. Additionally, Arsenal’s potential allure of Champions League football poses a further challenge to United’s pursuit.
Chelsea’s previous attempt to sign Olise, which collapsed last summer, adds a layer of complexity to the current situation. Despite this setback, the club remains impressed by the player’s performances, both in terms of goals and assists, elevating the competition for his services.
Manchester United’s recent FA Cup triumph could potentially strengthen their bargaining position, as they can offer Europa League football next season, unlike Chelsea, who are relegated to the Conference League. Furthermore, Newcastle’s lack of European football following their weekend results may diminish their appeal to Olise.
The prospect of securing Olise’s signature excites Manchester United, as it would not only bolster their squad but also serve as a statement of intent in the Premier League. Olise’s reputation as one of English football’s most promising young talents adds significance to the ongoing transfer saga.
