Michael Olise could replace Kylian Mbappé, but Man United and Liverpool should see the Crystal Palace star as the future
Michael Olise is good enough to replace Kylian Mbappé at Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
That's the view of talkSPORT's Gabby Agbonlahor, who hopes the Crystal Palace star gets a big move this summer.
The football world saw on Friday night how Mbappé confirmed his plans to leave the French giants this summer with a verbal agreement already reached to take him to Real Madrid.
While the Spanish giants will be delighted to attract one of world football's biggest stars, it means PSG have a giant void to fill in their squad.
Olise joined Crystal Palace from Reading in 2021 and has become one of the Premier League's most talented stars, having scored 10 goals and provided five assists in just 18 games this season.
The 22-year-old is known to have a £60million release clause in his contract at Selhurst Park, with talkSPORT understands that both Manchester City and Manchester United They are enthusiastic.

Asked if Olise could play in the Champions League for Manchester City, Agbonlahor told talkSPORT: “Olise? 100 percent.
“If I had to choose one between Eze and Olise, I would choose Olise. They are both outstanding players.
“Olise is now 22 years old and wants to join the French national team. If Mbappé leaves, I think he would be perfect for PSG. I rate it that high.
“In the goals he scores, he has that arrogance that allows him to take the ball and say: 'I'm going to shoot from there, that's what I do.'

“With a release clause of £60m, there will be plenty of clubs trying to get him.
“The Spurs would love it. Arsenal would love it. Aston Villa would be dying for him, Man United, they are crying out for him.
“Give them Antonio! £60 million plus Antony, there you have it!
“Liverpool would leave him with the departure of Mohamed Salah. Could Liverpool turn him into a winger who plays more in the middle like Salah does?
“He's a top-class player and if I'm a Crystal Palace fan, I think it's going to be one of those summers.”
Palace's final game of the season will be against Aston Villa on Sunday, May 19, a game that could prove to be Olise's last game for the Eagles.
