He said ” last season i rejected a move to Chelsea cause all my heart was to play for man United I knew if I put in the work the will come for me and I’m really happy we have sealed the deal can’t wait to play in front of the fans especially old Trafford it’s a lifelong ambition”.

Liverpool’s pursuit of Crystal Palace’s rising star, Michael Olise, could hit roadblocks, as indications suggest the player is leaning towards a move to Manchester United.

Despite Liverpool and Chelsea’s keenness to activate Olise’s hefty £60 million release clause due to his stellar performances, his strong allegiance to Manchester United might sway his preference towards the red side of Manchester.

Olise, who rejected a move to Chelsea last summer despite a £35 million release clause being triggered, opted to extend his stay at Selhurst Park, promptly followed by a contract extension with an increased release clause. Despite facing injuries, his consistent form this season, which saw him contribute to nine goals in just 12 appearances, has attracted significant attention in the transfer market.

While Liverpool has been eyeing Olise as a potential addition to bolster their attacking options, reports indicate his inclination towards Manchester United could force Liverpool to reconsider their transfer strategies.

Earlier speculation in the January transfer window suggested a potential move to Liverpool, but the likelihood of such a transfer seems to have diminished.

This development comes amidst Liverpool’s broader ambitions to revamp their forward line, especially amid uncertainties surrounding other player movements and inconsistent performances.

As the summer transfer window approaches, Liverpool might need to broaden their search beyond Olise to secure the reinforcements needed to maintain their competitive edge.
