‘Get Him Now’ ‘We Can’t Lose Him To Chelsea’ City Fans React As Romano Confirms Interest In £35M Rated Winger

Manchester City and Chelsea are both interested in signing Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise, according to journalist Fabrizio Romano.

The Italian reporter claims that the Frenchman has a £35m release clause in his contract but both teams may not step up their plans to sign him until they know more about how long the player will be out for with a torn hamstring:

Fans on Twitter are mostly excited about the prospect of Olise making the switch to the Etihad Stadium:

A replacement for Riyad Mahrez

With Mahrez set to complete his £30m move to Al Ahli soon, it is not surprising that City are looking to replace the Algerian international.

Olise is definitely an outstanding candidate. He is only 21 years of age and he had a breakout season for Palace, providing 11 assists in 37 league appearances.

City will have to see off plenty of rivals for Olise’s services

In addition to Chelsea, Arsenal have also been mentioned as potential suitors for the winger in recent days, with the Gunners keen to provide competition for Bukayo Saka.

However, you would have to think that a move to the Premier League champions would be the most attractive option for Olise.
