Chelsea is poised to make a summer bid for Michael Olise, irrespective of their new managerial appointment, according to The Mirror.
The talented Crystal Palace star, known for his versatility in both the right-wing and attacking midfielder positions, showcased his skills with ten goals and six assists in 19 Premier League matches this season.

Following Mauricio Pochettino’s departure, Chelsea is in search of a new manager, with Todd Boehly leading the club’s ambitious transfer plans to bolster the squad. Competition for Olise’s signature is fierce, with Arsenal, Manchester United, Newcastle, and Liverpool all expressing interest. The allure of Champions League football at Arsenal and Liverpool could sway the 22-year-old’s decision.
Although Olise was previously part of Chelsea’s academy, his return to the club remains uncertain. Despite Palace securing him to a new contract last year, Chelsea had previously made a £35 million bid, which they believed activated his release clause.
With the managerial vacancy attracting candidates like Ipswich’s Kieran McKenna, Leicester’s Enzo Maresca, and Brentford’s Thomas Frank, Chelsea is navigating through a period of transition after another turbulent season, aiming to secure stability and success for the future.
