Winger who rejected West Ham United may now be offered to Crystal Palace in Michael Olise swap

Michael Olise is going to be heavily in demand this summer.

The Crystal Palace wide man has racked up six goals and three assists this season despite making just 11 Premier League appearances.

That kind of return is always going to attract interest and we have already seen some major rumours around him.

Sir Jim Ratcliffe is thought to have approved a move for Olise at Manchester United whilst Arsenal are also interested.

Another major club is now entering the race – and may have a swap proposal for Palace.

Mathias Soule could be offered for Michael Olise

now report that Juventus want to sign Olise and are prepared to offer a swap.

The Italian side may struggle to compete with top Premier League clubs in terms of cash offers, so are trying to get creative.

Juve may be willing to send Matias Soule to Crystal Palace as part of the move.

Soule is a right-sided, left footed winger who has been earning huge praise during a loan spell at Frosinone this season.

The 20-year-old has bagged 10 goals and two assists in 23 game this season.

Palace will need an appealing offer to let Olise go and bringing in Soule as a direct replacement may appeal.

Signed from Velez Sarsfield in 2020, Soule has only managed 21 first-team outings for Juve and may be sold after showing good form at Frosinone.

What’s interesting is that reports from Italy recently suggested that Soule actually rejected a move to Palace in January.

It was indicated that Al-Ittihad and even West Ham United were both snubbed by Soule during the January window as he wanted to see out the season with Frosinone.

For Juventus to land this exchange deal for Olise, they will need Soule to change his mind on a move to London – and Palace would no doubt to end up landing him amid West Ham’s interest.
