This Is Anfield is aware that Liverpool is interested in Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise, but his release clause might turn off fans.
This Is Anfield has heard that the 22-year-old is a player on the club’s radar, although interest in him and Leeds winger Crysencio Summerville are still very early in the process.
Liverpool will keep a close eye on their progress, and any decision regarding a summer signing will probably be influenced by Mohamed Salah’s position regarding a new contract.
In any case, Olise’s Palace contract contains a release clause, which might simplify any transaction but also add complications because to its high value.
The France youth international, who was born in London, can be bought out of his Selhurst Park contract for an estimated £60 million, according to a number of outlets, including the Mirror.
This occurs after Olise, who had previously allowed himself to depart for £35 million, agreed to new terms with Palace after turning down a transfer to Chelsea in August.
In their midfield makeover, Liverpool took advantage of release clauses, bringing in Alexis Mac Allister for £35 million and Dominik Szoboszlai for £60 million without the need for talks.
However, one could argue that those players were more capable and more reasonably priced than Palace’s No. 7.
Olise has nine goals and 17 assists in 72 Premier League games, which David Lynch of This Is Anfield stated is “not the level of production that usually tempts Liverpool in.”
With a £60 million investment, he would become the club’s sixth most expensive player in history and its second-most expensive attacking acquisition ever, behind only Darwin Nunez (£85 million).
Despite the fact that Olise, who turned 22 last month, has the potential to become a premier option for Liverpool, it is evident that he is not there yet.
This explains why, unlike many players of his caliber, the club is just keeping an eye on him rather than actively pursuing him.
