A Premier League player earning £100,000 per week may potentially collaborate with Pep Guardiola.
Luke Edwards from The Telegraph has linked Michael Olise, Crystal Palace’s No. 7 player, to Manchester City.
The rumor implies a potential move for Olise to Manchester City, with the 22-year-old performing exceptionally well since recovering from a hamstring injury. In nine Premier League appearances, Olise has scored five goals and provided one assist. Notably, he scored a late equalizer against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium.
Edwards suggests that the £8 million-valued player might join forces with Pep Guardiola.
The respected journalist mentioned to the BBC, “I anticipate that the tussle will happen in the summer, but I would advise Crystal Palace fans to enjoy him while he’s with the club. I believe Palace can stave off any potential suitors this month, and I don’t foresee a move happening this month. However, once that release clause comes into play, there’s little they can do.”
The release clause, according to The Mirror, is valued at £60 million.
Olise could potentially opt for Manchester United, Chelsea, Manchester City, or Arsenal as his next destination, as per Edwards.
The reasoning suggests that Olise could be a suitable addition to Manchester City, referred to as a potential “Mahrez 2.0.” Both Olise and Riyad Mahrez share similar attributes, possessing exceptional left-foot control that effectively impacts opponents when cutting inside.
With Manchester City potentially weaker on the right flank since the departure of Cole Palmer, despite not having replaced Mahrez yet, Guardiola might consider making a move for Olise, who reportedly earns £100,000 per week.
