### Crystal Palace Seeking Attacking Reinforcements Following Olise’s Departure
After losing Michael Olise to Bayern Munich, Crystal Palace is actively seeking attacking reinforcements this summer. According to Fabrizio Romano, speaking exclusively to GIVEMESPORT, Juventus’ Matias Soule is on their radar. However, his €40 million price tag might be a significant obstacle.
Replacing a player of Olise’s caliber is a tough challenge. Under manager Oliver Glasner, Palace has made significant strides, becoming a regular contender in the top half of the Premier League. Acquiring a player like Soule could further bolster their ambitions.
### Matias Soule: Potential Move from Juventus
Journalist Gianluca Di Marzio recently reported that Soule is unlikely to remain with Juventus beyond this summer, due to growing interest in the young winger. Juventus may be willing to sell him to fund their own transfers. Leicester City, managed by Steve Cooper, has expressed interest, reportedly offering £21 million to strengthen their squad for their Premier League return. Aston Villa is also monitoring his situation.
Soule had an impressive loan spell with Frosinone in Serie A last season, scoring 11 goals and providing 3 assists. However, signing the talented 21-year-old won’t be easy amid fierce competition. With Olise’s departure, Palace might need to act quickly.
Talent scout Jacek Kulig has likened Soule to Messi, highlighting his potential for brilliance. Romano confirmed that Soule, 21, is a target for Palace as they seek Olise’s replacement. However, Juventus’ €40 million asking price could be prohibitive, especially with interest from West Ham and Leicester City.
### Arsenal Eyeing Eberechi Eze
In another potential blow for Crystal Palace, The Guardian reports that Eberechi Eze could be on his way out, with Arsenal showing interest. Journalist Ed Aarons mentioned that Mikel Arteta’s side is monitoring Eze’s situation during Euro 2024. The versatile winger, who has a £60 million (€71m) release clause, is attracting attention from several clubs.
Sources indicate that Tottenham Hotspur is also interested in Eze, causing concern for Palace about a possible departure.
