Chelsea maintains their interest in acquiring Michael Olise during the upcoming summer transfer window. However, football.london reports that the Crystal Palace winger is inclined towards a move to Manchester United, a club also expressing interest. Despite being associated with Chelsea from ages seven to 14, Olise, a devoted Manchester United supporter, is aware of the interest from both clubs and is widely expected to depart from Palace at the end of the season.
Last summer, Chelsea triggered Olise’s £35million release clause, seemingly positioning him for a move to Stamford Bridge. Nevertheless, the winger opted to sign a new four-year contract with Selhurst Park. In his latest contract, Olise now has a new release clause set to be activated this summer, with the specific amount yet to be disclosed but anticipated to exceed £35million.

Despite facing interruptions due to injuries, the Frenchman, born in Hammersmith, has delivered an impressive performance for Palace this season, featuring in nine Premier League matches under Roy Hodgson, scoring five goals, and providing one assist.
Manchester United, recognizing Olise’s talent, closely monitors his situation as they plan for a potential summer move. With only 24 goals in their first 21 Premier League matches, Erik ten Hag’s side is eager to bolster their attacking options.
