Michael Ollis is a man in high demand these days.
Michael Olise is on many United fans' wish lists this summer, but the Frenchman could also end up elsewhere. On Wednesday, both David Ornstein and Fabrizio Romano reported that Chelsea had been in contact with Crystal Palace about the winger.
They are said to have contacted Crystal Palace representatives to find out more details about Olise's £60m buyout clause.
The 22-year-old is rumored to be Chelsea's top priority, but there are still several clubs in the race.
Later on Thursday afternoon, David Ornstein reported that Bayern Munich and Newcastle had been in contact with Palace on Wednesday (before Chelsea's call), and that they had requested permission to contact Olise's representatives.
at the same Sports issue Ornstein also wrote that United and City remain very interested.
The technically gifted winger notched an impressive ten goals and six assists in 19 Premier League appearances last season.
