Man United and Chelsea will have to pay £65 million for Michael Olise

Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise has been linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season.

Chelsea and Manchester United are keen on signing the 22-year-old French winger and they will have to pay a fee of around £50 million. According to TeamTalk, Palace are willing to accept a fee of around £50 million without bonuses for their prized asset. However, the Eagles will hold out for an overall package of around £65 million for the Frenchman.

It will be interesting to see if Chelsea and Manchester United are willing to pay that kind of money for the player.

There is no doubt that the Frenchman is one of the most talented young attackers in the league right now. Despite starting just 12 league games this season because of injury problems, Olise has found the back of the net nine times and has picked up four assists along the way.

Recently, he scored a brace against Manchester United. He has the ability to compete at the highest level and he could develop into a top class player with the right guidance.
