Manchester United appear to be in with a fighting chance of signing priority transfer target Michael Olise.<\/p>\n

Believed to be a “pre-approved” signing<\/a> by INEOS, United are expected to pull out all the stops to bring the Crystal Palace winger to Old Trafford.<\/p>\n

The club seems to be in dire need of some fresh legs on the wing. Marcus Rashford has been a shadow of his former self this season, while Antony, despite a goal at the weekend, has long proven to be an unreliable option.<\/p>\n

Although Alejandro Garnacho has enjoyed a fine season despite having to play majorly on the right wing, he has struggled as of late – perhaps an indication that he is being overplayed.<\/p>\n

With his price tag reported to be \u00a360 million, Olise could prove to be great value for money, however, the lack of a release clause<\/a> means that a bidding war could ensue thus pushing his price upwards.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, the structure of his contract would require a portion of his transfer fee to be paid to his previous club Reading as well as a percentage to the player himself, making a potential deal more complex.<\/p>\n

Last week, however, United received a major boost in their pursuit of the Palace star. As relayed by The Peoples Person<\/a>, Chelsea appear to have withdrawn their interest as they seek to strengthen their squad in other positions.<\/p>\n

Now that United have seemingly fewer rivals in the race to sign Olise, a deal this summer appears increasingly likely. What’s more, former Crystal Palace owner Simon Jordan is of the belief that a summer deal is possible.<\/p>\n

“Everyone is going to be looking at Olise and [Ebere] Eze and that is a big challenge for Palace,” Jordan explained in an interview with talkSPORT<\/a>, acknowledging that both players have become transfer targets for major clubs.<\/p>\n

“I think you\u2019re probably in a situation where Michael Olise signed a new contract last year predominantly to protect Palace\u2019s value in the next set of negotiations,” Jordan explained.<\/p>\n

“But if Man United come, or Liverpool or Arsenal come, the player forms part of the problem because he then goes; \u2018Well, I love it here but I want to go to this bigger football club. Now, I want to go.\u201d<\/p>\n

Should the allure of joining a larger club appeal to Olise, then United may be in with a chance to lure him to Old Trafford this summer.<\/p>\n

Still, the club will be concerned that Erik ten Hag was unable to secure Champions League football next season, which could be to United’s detriment should a side in the top four decide to join the race to sign Olise.<\/p>\n
