Manchester City prepare mega offer for Michael Olise
In the realm of football transfers, Crystal Palace‘s dynamic winger, Michael Olise, has once again become a coveted asset for prominent clubs. A prospective move to Chelsea during the summer faced an abrupt halt, leading to the talented player opting for an extended contract with the Eagles, encompassing a release clause, binding him until 2027.
Renowned for his proficiency as a left-footed attacking midfielder, Olise displays versatility by seamlessly transitioning into various roles. Whether deployed as a number 10 or positioned on either side, be it left or right, he exudes prowess as an attacking midfielder. Noteworthy is his adeptness at swiftly orchestrating passes that dismantle opposing defenses, a skill complemented by a deft first touch and a heightened situational awareness. His expansive passing range proves instrumental in breaching enemy lines or altering the trajectory of the offensive play.
Having etched his mark on Crystal Palace, Olise boasts a commendable track record, featuring in 82 games and contributing with 12 goals and 22 assists. Additionally, his stint with the France U21 squad saw him participate in seven matches, where he found the back of the net once.
Erik ten Hag, at the helm of Manchester United’s new era under Sir Jim Ratcliffe, has pinpointed Olise as a primary target. However, reports from The Sun indicate that Manchester City are set to fiercely contend for the winger’s signature, potentially swaying the balance in their favor.
Euro Football Rumours
The Etihad-based club is preparing a substantial offer, rumored to exceed 70 million euros, to secure the services of the French under-21 international. Manchester City appears confident in their ability to entice Olise, believing he may favor their proposition over that of their local rivals, Manchester United.
Examining Manchester City‘s current squad, the dearth of left-footed wingers is evident, with only Phil Foden and academy graduate Oscar Bobb fitting that description. This void opens up the possibility for Olise to carve a niche for himself within Pep Guardiola’s tactical setups, providing an additional dimension to the team’s attacking prowess. As the tug of war intensifies between Manchester United and Manchester City for Michael Olise’s allegiance, the footballing world eagerly awaits the denouement of this high-stakes transfer saga.
