Coming live from Fabrizio Romano, Liverpool FC have reached agreement in principle in a 4 years deal with crystal Palace worth £60m for their standout winger Michael Olise. Despite Manchester United and Chelsea’s interest to activate Olise’s £60 million release clause following his impressive performances, Olise have agreed to move to Anfield during the summer. He said ” last season i rejected a move to Chelsea cause all my heart was to play for Liverpool FC I knew if I put in the work the will come for me and I’m really happy we have sealed the deal can’t wait to play in front of the fans especially Anfield it’s a lifelong ambition”. Liverpool FC get first Deal done with Olise.
Liverpool’s pursuit of Crystal Palace’s star winger Michael Olise faces a potential setback, with indications pointing towards the player favoring a move to Manchester United.
Despite Liverpool and Chelsea expressing strong interest in triggering Olise’s £60 million release clause due to his stellar performances, his allegiance to Manchester United could sway his decision.
Last year, Olise turned down a transfer to Chelsea, despite their meeting his £35 million release clause, opting instead to extend his tenure at Selhurst Park with an augmented release clause.
Despite encountering some injuries, Olise’s consistent form this season, which has seen him contribute to nine goals in just 12 appearances, has made him a highly sought-after asset in the transfer market.
Meanwhile, Liverpool is eager to bolster their squad, with Olise identified as a potential target to enhance their attacking options.
However, reports from Footballwave suggest that Olise’s preference for Manchester United might prompt Liverpool to reassess their transfer strategy.
Journalist Ben Jacobs previously hinted at Olise potentially joining Liverpool during the January transfer window, but the likelihood of such a move appears to have diminished.
This development with Olise comes at a time when Liverpool is looking to revamp their forward line, especially amidst uncertainties surrounding other player movements and performance inconsistencies.
As the summer transfer window looms, Liverpool may need to widen their search beyond Olise to secure the reinforcements required to sustain their competitive edge.
