Because Manchester United are in the lead, Chelsea may not be able to recruit Michael Olise this summer, just as they were last year.
The Crystal Palace star is reportedly a highly sought-after player and might go during the next transfer window, according to several reports.
The Mirror reports that Olise is desired by many clubs, including Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle, and Liverpool.
However, the Red Devils are now in the driver’s seat to seal the deal, according to an exclusive report published by FT.
The French winger prefers a transfer to Old Trafford, but the Magpies have made the deal their top priority.
The release clause in Olise’s current contract, which he signed with the Eagles last year, is reportedly worth £59.8 million (70 million euros).
The 22-year-old superstar had a breakout Premier League season, starting only 14 games while netting 10 goals and assisting on 6 more.

Olise, who often plays on the right wing, would be a great pick to replace Antony, a Man Utd bust who managed only one goal all season.
Noni Madueke is the starting right winger for Chelsea. The English winger led the Blues in scoring with eight goals and added three assists in all competitions.
It is important to consider Olise’s injury history before signing him since he missed eighteen games in the Premier League with a hamstring issue.
