In a bid to secure Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise, Manchester United is exploring the possibility of including a player in a part exchange deal. The ongoing January transfer window has seen Olise emerge as a target for the Red Devils. Reports from Daily Star suggest that United is contemplating offering Aaron Wan-Bissaka, a former Crystal Palace star, as part of the deal to secure Olise’s signature.
The approach is driven by the desire to avoid fully triggering Olise’s release clause, indicating the club’s intent to navigate a low-key January window. This strategy aligns with United’s current focus on outgoings, with an eye on restructuring their recruitment approach before the upcoming summer transfer window under Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s new team.
Concurrently, Crystal Palace has expressed interest in potentially re-signing Wan-Bissaka, though they have been hesitant due to Manchester United’s high valuation of the right-back.
As the transfer saga unfolds, both clubs are navigating negotiations with potential implications for the players and the teams involved.
