Manchester United are looking to sell Anthony Martial (24) and sign Michael Oliseh (22, Crystal Palace).
"United are willing to take a significant loss when selling Anthony this summer," the British 'Team Talk' reported on Thursday (June 14). Palace winger Oliseh could be a possible replacement for Anthony," the report said.
It continued: "United are ready to end Anthony's stay at Old Trafford after two years. They plan to sell him for an acceptable fee and want to save on his huge wage bill. Oliseh is at the top of United's list of targets."
United signed Anthony in the summer of 2022 for a total of €100 million. The player was a favorite of manager Eric ten Haag, so they couldn't afford to lose him. Many people called it an "overpayment" and expressed concern.
They were right. Anthony scored eight goals and three assists in 44 games in 2022-23 and two goals and two assists in 33 games in 2023-24. Considering the huge transfer fee and a weekly wage of £200,000 (approximately $348,000), the results were unsatisfactory and United decided to sell him. "United are planning to offload at least 10 players this summer and will listen to offers for Anthony," according to the UK's Metro. Recouping €100 million is impossible, and they are willing to take a huge loss and move on.
Oliseh is being considered as a possible replacement. The former Reading youth product rose to prominence in the English Championship in 2020-21, scoring 토토 seven goals and providing 12 assists in 44 games. He was snapped up by Palace, who paid a £10 million buyout clause. He established himself as an ace at Palace. He scored four goals and provided eight assists in 31 games in 2021-22 and two goals and 11 assists in 40 games in 2022-23. This season, he was limited to 13 games due to a hamstring injury, but still managed double-digit offensive points with seven goals and three assists.
A left-footed forward, Oliseh can play as a winger and attacking midfielder. He supplies quality passes, sends incisive crosses, dribbles with success, and finishes. He has all the options you need in a striker. He has been linked with Chelsea and Manchester City in the past.
Oliseh's buyout climb to £60 million when he signed a new contract in August last year. United will pay the buyout based on the sale of Anthony and transfer funds. According to European transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano, United's recruitment department has already approved the signing of Oliseh.
Personal agreements are not a problem. Chelsea and Liverpool are also willing to pay a buyout, but Oliseh would prefer to sign for United, according to Team Talk.
