Crystal Palace are expected to see multiple key players depart this summer, but they’re standing strong on valuation.
At Selhurst Park, there is a healthy group of elite talents who are being sought after this season which could see bids arrive this summer, but will Crystal Palace sell?
Despite only taking over recently, Oliver Glasner is believed to already face a battle to keep Marc Guehi at the club as multiple clubs hold an interest.
Another is Eberechi Eze who is seen as a likely option for Manchester City, although the ideal replacement for the 25-year-old is already identified.
The third with substantial interest ahead of this summer is Michael Olise, with Manchester United believed to be the front-runner for his signature.
Now, it’s been explained that Palace aren’t willing to let Olise go cheap and has already outpriced one interested club.
Crystal Palace price Juventus out of Michael Olise deal
This comes according to a report from Calcio Mercato which argues Juventus’ interest in Olise could be dying.
This is due to the fact Palace are prepared to reject every bid which doesn’t match Olise’s release clause which is valued between £55m and £60m.
This substantial transfer fee leaves the Italian side out of the running due to the fact they simply cannot afford that fee.
The news isn’t all good however, as this likely just makes a move to a Premier League side such as United all the more likely.
Oliver Glasner has Palace better placed to deal with Olise sale
Under Hodgson, the prospect of losing Olise was daunting as he was almost single-handedly keeping Palace above the relegation fight.
But now under Glasner, this importance has surely become less as he would now be a cog in a well-organised and impressive team set-up.
This means losing Olise doesn’t feel like the end of the world, although his magical moments would be missed undoubtedly.
That being said Palace are in a better position to cope – after all, he has been injured for large periods anyway.
