A week after Crystal Palace coach Roy Hodgson said he expected top clubs to call star player Michael Olise, it emerged that one of the European giants is sniffing.
The 21-year-old forward, who has two goals and nine assists in 34 Premier League appearances this season, is one of Palace's best players, especially in recent weeks. This.
Due to his superb form, Ligue 1 champions Paris Saint-Germain are said to be watching 21-year-old Olise as they prepare to live without one of their key players, Lionel Messi.
Messi is set to leave the Parc des Princes when his contract expires at the end of the season, with the Argentine being closely linked with a big money move to Saudi Arabia.
Of course, it is nearly impossible to replace the seven-time Ballon d'Or winner, but according to the Daily Mail, PSG are looking to 'reconnect with their fanbase and sign young French players. '. Olise, who made four appearances for France Under-21s, is believed to be one of the players on the club's radar as they look to bring in a centre-back, holding midfielder, forward and two midfielders. wing.
Palace signed Olise from Championship Reading side in the summer of 2021 for a fee of 8m.
If PSG responds to their interest with an offer, expect a much larger sum than they originally paid. In fact, HLTCO presenter Dan Cook believes the Premier League side should consider a fee of around 60-70m if they sell.

"It's hard, isn't it?" Because you're looking at Michael, a jewel in our crown, but ultimately someone we've contracted with with the intention of selling at some point in the future for huge sums of money.
I think we paid around 8m to sign him from Reading, which over time seems to be an absolute bargain in our opinion.
But if PSG really want to sell Michael to us, then you have to look at the possibility of 60, 70 million, once the whole deal falls apart.
"And if we can do that, it's part of the business model, you know how to buy low and sell high.
