Chelsea is said to be very confident in recruiting Michael Olise because they are willing to sacrifice a few players to exchange with Crystal Palace.

Chelsea has contacted Crystal Palace in hopes of successfully recruiting Michael Olise, who can play as a winger or defender. The only problem for Chelsea is that Olise has a £60 million release clause, which they cannot activate, as it only applies to clubs qualified for the Champions League.

In addition to Chelsea, MU, Newcastle, Manchester City and Bayern Munich are also interested in the English player. However, according to The Telegraph, Chelsea is now confident that they will successfully recruit Olise. According to the above source, the Blues negotiated with Crystal Palace this week.

 

Michael Olise is Chelsea’s top target

In addition to spending a sum of money, Chelsea is also willing to sacrifice Trevoh Chalobah, Armando Broja, and Cesare Casadei. Palace are also likely to make a bid for Noni Madueke, although it remains to be seen whether Chelsea will be happy to allow him to leave.

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Chelsea’s task is to agree personal terms with Olise, and then they almost have what they need. Olise has scored a total of 16 goals and 25 assists in 90 games for Palace since he arrived at Selhurst Park from Reading in 2021.

In the past, Olise played for Chelsea’s youth team before being scouted by Manchester City’s academy and eventually going to Reading.
