Juventus Eyeing Crystal Palace Star Michael Olise
Italian giants Juventus are reportedly preparing a surprise bid for Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise, who is also a top target for Manchester United and Chelsea. Despite being plagued by injuries this season, Olise has managed to impress with six goals and three assists in just 11 appearances. United sees him as the solution to their right-wing issues and are planning to trigger his release clause at the end of the season.
Chelsea, who were close to signing Olise last summer, are still interested in his services. However, Juventus has now entered the race and are planning to make an offer that includes sending promising forward Matias Soule to Selhurst Park in part exchange. Soule, who has scored 10 goals and made two assists in Serie A while on loan at Frosinone, is seen as a suitable replacement for Olise.
Palace’s decision to sell Olise could depend on their Premier League status, as they are currently just five points above the relegation zone. With new manager Oliver Glasner taking charge, the Eagles will face Burnley in their next game without key players like Olise, Eberechi Eze, Marc Guehi, and Cheick Doucoure all sidelined. It remains to be seen if Juventus’ bid will be enough to secure Olise’s services or if he will end up at one of the Premier League clubs chasing him.
