Manchester United, who first targeted Crystal Palace midfielder Michael Olise, will get an obstacle from their city rivals, Manchester City. Olise has long been the target of MU manager Erik ten Hag. The purchase plan was made after the end of the competition.
The plan has the support of Sir Jim Ratcliffe who wants to build a new era at MU since getting a 25% stake in the club. But apparently Man City is ready to compete with MU. This English Premier League champion does not want its one-city rival to get one of the best players.
Manager Pep Guardiola hopes to bring in this young French player. The reason for this is he can play on the right wing, and Olise’s playing style is suitable for Man City.

It looks like signing this 22-year-old player would not be a difficult target for Man City. Clearly, money is no object, and The Cityzens could provide £60 million for Olise’s transfer.
In addition to the Manchester duo, Chelsea is still ready to compete. In fact, the Blues have already made an offer to Palace for the purchase of Olise at the start of the season. However, Chelsea’s offer was rejected.
Now Chelsea are also heating the competition for a player who has scored six goals and made three assists this season.
Knowing Olise can improve the quality of the attack line, both MU and Man City also have a serious interest in attracting 22-year-old players in the 2024 summer transfer window.
The midfielder, who can play for France, Algeria, England or Nigeria, continues to honour his contract at Palace, which expires in 2027.
However, Olise is considering offers from other clubs if he is guaranteed to play regularly. Olise has the opportunity to play at the Manchester club duo.
At MU, Ten Hag is ready to release Antony to make room for Olise. But Man City is also very open to playing Olise as a starter.
