Newcastle is showing renewed interest in Michael Olise, a forward who currently plays for Crystal Palace.

The 22-year-old is facing increased competition despite being worth £60 million. This is due to a clause in his contract that could come into effect this summer.

Last year, Chelsea and Paris St Germain tried to sign the young French footballer who represents the U21 national team. He hopes to participate in the Champions League once he departs from his current team, Palace.

Olise is highly valued by Manchester United, City, Arsenal, and Liverpool. His top priority in choosing his next club is obtaining frequent game time to sustain his progress towards a successful career.

Newcastle are putting in a last-minute effort to qualify for the European tournament. They believe that showcasing the determination of their project can persuade Olise that they have a real shot at succeeding.

The people in charge have also taken into account Nico Williams from Athletic Bilbao and Pedro Neto who plays for Wolves. However, there are worries about Neto's history of getting injured.

Newcastle has been paying attention to Olise since his time at Reading. Despite being plagued by minor injuries, he has managed to bounce back and perform exceptionally well in recent times.

Although Newcastle has talented players like Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes, they still see potential in adding Olise to their team. Furthermore, they aim to keep their striker Alexander Isak in their ranks.

If Newcastle aims to sign the player, they will have to compete with several other clubs who are also interested in him.

If Dougie Freedman becomes the sporting director at St James' Park in Newcastle, it could have a significant impact as Newcastle has been trying to hire him from Crystal Palace.

Eddie Howe's team is still interested in signing Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, as well as free agent defenders Lloyd Kelly from Bournemouth and Tosin Adarabioyo from Fulham.
