Crystal Palace standout Michael Olise could generate more interest after scoring a brace in the Eagles’ 4-0 win over Manchester United on Monday. Paris Saint-Germain are among the clubs linked to the player, but the list of suitors continues to grow. 

PSG are reportedly set to bid farewell to Kylian Mbappé this summer as his contract reaches its end in late June. In recent months, there have been murmurs linking various forwards to the Parisians as potential replacements to fill the void in production.

Olise fits the profile that the Parisians could want in a forward, but the number of Premier League clubs aiming to keep him in England will be a massive hurdle to overcome. 

According to Football Transfers, Aston Villa are confident it can beat Arsenal and Manchester United to sign the Crystal Palace star. 

The forward is tied to Crystal Palace until 2027, so a significant offer will be required to sway him elsewhere. Transfermarkt lists Olise’s transfer value at €50 million, but given Crystal Palace’s leverage with his contract, acquiring him might call for more.
