Pep and Ten Hag will compete against each other for top Utd transfer goalkeeper Olise
PEP GUARDIOLA will battle Erik ten Hag all the way in the hunt for Crystal Palace sensation Michael Olise.
Manchester City sees the French talent as an important signing for the summer and has a huge offer ready.
In the meantime, Ten Hag also wants Olise as the flagship of the new Sir Jim Ratcliffe era at Manchester United.
But City will hope the lure of Pep's selection will tempt the Palace wideman.
Olise – who Chelsea rejected at the start of the season – has the skills for City's style and also plays on the right, where they have room for a top player.
Money will be no object as City will throw £60 million or more at the Palace star next term, who limped off in the 4-1 defeat at Brighton.
Chelsea may try again, but it's turning into a City vs. United scrap.
He will only move if he thinks he will get playing time and that is likely because Guardiola is only planning minor squad changes.
Olise scored six goals and provided three assists this season.
The 22-year-old's contract at Selhurst Park runs until 2027 and there is reportedly a release clause in the deal, but the amount is unknown.
