AliousReports indicate that Chelsea are well-positioned to secure the services of highly-coveted Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise, edging out stiff competition from several Premier League rivals. The Blues are prepared to trigger the Frenchman’s £70 million release clause, as they aim to kick-start Enzo Maresca’s tenure at Stamford Bridge on a high note.
While Manchester United have also been heavily linked with Olise, they are reluctant to meet the hefty release clause, deeming it an overpayment considering the player’s contract expires in 2027.
Bayern Munich and Newcastle United are also admirers of the talented winger, but Chelsea appear confident in their ability to secure his signature this summer.
Crystal Palace have offered Olise a new contract with improved terms and an increased release clause, although it remains uncertain whether the player will commit his future to the club.
His impressive Premier League campaign failed to earn him a call-up to the French national team for the Euros in Germany, potentially paving the way for a swift resolution to his club future.
As the race for Olise’s signature intensifies, Chelsea’s willingness to meet his release clause could prove decisive in their pursuit of the highly-rated forward, as they look to bolster their attacking options under the new management.
