It is unclear how much the Ligue 1 champions would be willing to spend on him but the player has a reported £50million release clause and a contract that runs until 2026.

Olise moved to Crystal Palace in the summer of 2021, signing for a reported fee of £8.37million from Reading, where he won the EFL Young Player of the Season award.

Last campaign he caught the eye with appearances coming mainly off the substitutes bench to net four goals and get assist eight in all competitions.

However, in this season, he has started to make Patrick Vieira's starting line-up more regularly, featuring from the beginning in 13 of 19 matches.

He has scored once and assisted a further four with his displays leading to him being called-up to the France Under-21 side.

It could be a busy window for Crystal Palace with Jack Butland nearing a switch to Manchester United.

And former Selhurst Park ace Aaron Wan-Bissaka could move back the other way, returning to his old club.

Meanwhile, the future of Wilfried Zaha is in doubt as clubs like Barcelona are reportedly keen.
