Chelsea to miss out on French star to Man Utd?
Chelsea could reportedly miss out on signing Michael Olise to Manchester United this summer.
The Blues were determined to land Olise from Crystal Palace last summer and they triggered the £35 million release clause in his contract.
However, the Eagles managed to convince the winger to stay. They rewarded him with a new deal and increased the buy-out clause to £60m.
Olise has since endured a difficult campaign hampered by injuries but he is still expected to leave Selhurst Park at the end of the season.
The Blues are still interested in the former Reading man, but United are confident that Olise will choose them over the London outfit.
The club are planning for huge things under owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe and Olise is said to be excited by the prospect of a dream move.
If Olise were to move to Old Trafford, it could spell the end of Antony's career at United. The club are prepared to cut their losses on him.
