Crystal Palace eye Antonio Nusa to replace Michael Olise
Crystal Palace have indicated a move to sign Norwegian professional footballer, Antonio Nusa.
Nusa plays for Belgian Pro League, Club Brugge, and the Norway national team.
Crystal Palace are planning to replace Michael Olise, who is moving to Bundesliga side, Bayern Munich.
Transfer guru, Fabrizio Romano, confirmed that Crystal Palace are assessing options as Olise will move to Bayern and they view Nusa who was born in Norway to a Nigerian father and a Norwegian mother as a suitable replacement for Olise who also has Nigerian roots.
‘‘Understand Antonio Nusa is one of the names on Crystal Palace’s shortlist to replace Michael Olise.
‘‘Palace are assessing options as Olise will move to Bayern.
‘‘Nusa, concrete option on the list while Daichi Kamada has already signed a two-year deal — official soon.’’ Romano wrote on his official X handle.
Reports say Bayern has made contact with Palace to proceed with the next steps of the Olise deal and the club has also been informed of the player’s decision to join Bayern with personal terms already agreed.
The final package expected for Olise’s transfer is around £50m as the total fee for Palace.
