The summer window is fast approaching for Crystal Palace and looks set to be busy in terms of both incomings and outgoings.

Oliver Glasner will quickly have discovered the weaknesses in his squad and team which should make for a busy transfer window this summer.

Crystal Palace are due for a renovation across the pitch, and this summer could be the right time for this to take place.

Funded by big sales, the Eagles could find themselves heading into the 2024/25 season with a brand-new squad, built in the image of Glasner.

While Palace won’t be keen to lose their star men, it now looks increasingly likely that one, Michael Olise, is headed for the exit.

Crystal Palace look likely to lose Michael Olise

This season, Olise has taken his game to the next level to the point he is guaranteed to be attracting several top clubs this summer.

But according to Dean Jones reporting for Sport Lens, it is Manchester United who are looking like the most likely option for the Frenchman.

The report explains that the early signs of Olise joining United are positive for the Red Devils as they’re looking like the most likely destination despite multiple suitors.

Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal are believed to be keeping an eye on Olise but he’s seen as a target United views as realistic this summer due to his £55m release clause as the report mentions.

Interest in Olise is likely to grow further as he is set to return in April at some point and could as we expect him to, continue along the same lines as he has done this season to date.

Olsie could effectively seal move to United in May with a showstopping display

Assuming the return to action in April goes well and Olise doesn’t end up reaggravating his injury, he will likely line up against United in early May.

This could be the game which effectively decides his future and a strong display could leave United chomping at the bit to sign Olise there and then.

Negotiations could already have begun by then and if he impresses it could get the deal over the line with United’s makeshift left-back guaranteed to struggle against Olise.
