Liverpool are reportedly interested in making a move to sign Crystal Palace midfielder Michael Olise, but they could face competition from Manchester United. Journalist Dean Jones has now explained to GIVEMESPORT why the French youth international would dream of joining the Anfield outfit.
Mohamed Salah’s future has been in doubt over the last few transfer windows, with clubs in Saudi Arabia desperate to bring him to the Middle East. The riches on offer could tempt the Egyptian forward, so the Reds might need to prepare for life without their star man.
A player like Olise could be the ideal replacement for Salah – a left-footed right-sided winger. Although a January transfer appears unlikely, with Palace seemingly unwilling to sanction a move, Olise could be available during the summer transfer window due to a release clause, and Liverpool might be one of the sides waiting at the front of the queue to secure his signature.
Olise has enjoyed an impressive start to life at Selhurst Park and has flourished this season when available. During the summer transfer window, it looked as though the Palace star could be heading through the exit door due to the reasonable fee he became available for. As per Sky Sports, Olise had a £35m release clause in his contract and Chelsea opted to activate it, edging closer to prising him away from Selhurst Park. However, the Eagles managed to convince the 22-year-old to sign on the dotted line and extend his stay at the club.
