The winter transfer window in Europe's top leagues may have closed, but the transfer buzz is still alive with exciting rumors and potential moves. According to The Sun, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola is set to compete with Manchester United's Erik ten Hag for the signature of Crystal Palace star Michael Olise. City views the Frenchman as a priority for the summer to strengthen their right-hand side, while United is eyeing him as a flagship arrival under the Sir Jim Ratcliffe era.
Olise's Potential Move
Michael Olise, who sustained an injury during Palace's recent match, has been impressive with his pace, skill, and playmaking ability. Despite turning down a move to Chelsea last summer, Olise might be considering a transfer at the end of the season. With a price tag of around £60 million, the 22-year-old has attracted attention for his six goals and three assists this season, and he is under contract with Palace until 2027.
Other Transfer Gossip
In other transfer news, Al Hilal is reportedly planning another offer for Manchester United's Bruno Fernandes, aiming to pair him with Neymar next season. Meanwhile, clubs like West Ham United, Nottingham Forest, Borussia Dortmund, and AC Milan are showing interest in various players, with potential moves and rejections making headlines. Additionally, PSG's pursuit of Napoli's Victor Osimhen and the contract situation of Manchester United's Kobbie Mainoo are also generating buzz.
Icardi's Return and Souttar's Decision
The transfer rumors also include Mauro Icardi's desire to return to Serie A from Galatasaray and Leicester City center-back Harry Souttar's determination to stay and fight for his place in the team after missing out on a move in the January transfer window.
