Source: Steve Parish may now sell 'special' Crystal Palace star this summer for huge 400% profit

Crystal Palace could cash in on Michael Olise this summer, with Manchester United monitoring his situation.

The French youngster was Patrick Vieira’s first signing at Selhurst Park last July, joining from Reading in a deal worth £8m.

Described as a ‘special talent’ by the Eagles manager, the 20-year-old has impressed in his first Premier League campaign, contributing to seven goals in 26 top-flight appearances.

He also weighed in with two goals and three assists in Palace’s run to the FA Cup semi-finals, and it looks as though his displays have caught the eye at Old Trafford.

Stretty News shared a story regarding the Red Devils and Olise on Saturday afternoon.

They were informed by ‘a source close to the situation’ who claimed that the Palace starlet will be available for £35m this summer, a possible 400% profit for Steve Parish on the midfielder after less than 12 months with the Eagles.

There is previous between the two clubs when it comes to signing young talents, with Aaron Wan-Bissaka making a £50m move from south London to Old Trafford in 2019.

However, it seems bizarre that Palace would be willing to sell Olise for £35m this summer. No Palace player has provided more assists than the Frenchman this season, as per WhoScored, so surely he’s someone around whom Vieira would want to build a team going forward.

It could be one to keep a close eye upon over the coming months, although another impressive campaign at Selhurst Park would more than likely see Olise’s valuation rise even further and could see transfer interest become even more intense.
