Chelsea are currently in talks to sign 22-year-old Crystal Palace star Michael Olise. The right-winger is a prime target for Manchester United, who have shown interest in the player since Sir Jim Ratcliffe took over the club. Olise has also garnered attention from other top Premier League clubs such as Manchester City and Liverpool.
According to a TEAMtalk report, Chelsea is looking to strengthen their squad before the start of next season, with Michael Olise being a player of interest. Since joining Crystal Palace from Reading in 2021, Olise has continued to improve, contributing 36 goals in 85 games for the team. Despite facing some injuries this season, the French youth international has put up decent performances.
A recent development has seen Chelsea join the race to sign Michael Olise, alongside Manchester United. This competition is expected to drive up the asking price for the player, giving Crystal Palace the opportunity to demand a record fee for their prized asset. The young French player, who has 11 goal contributions in 14 games this season, signed a new contract with Crystal Palace last year, eliminating a previous release clause and giving the club the power to demand a significant fee for Olise. Manchester United’s pursuit of him might face stiff competition from Chelsea, making the signing a challenging task for the Red Devils.
