Chelsea compete with Newcastle, Man Utd, City, Bayern for Nigerian winger

Posted : 14 June 2024

The speculation surrounding Crystal Palace's Nigerian winger Michael Olise continues to dominate headlines in England and abroad.


Born in London, Olise, who is also eligible to play for France and Algeria through his mother, extended his contract with Selhurst Park last summer, committing until June 30, 2027.


Signed at the beginning of the 2023-2024 season, Olise's new deal reportedly includes a release clause set at approximately £60 million.


According to David Ornstein, a transfer market expert at The Athletic, Chelsea faces competition from four other major clubs in the pursuit of the French U21 international.


In addition to Chelsea, Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich and Premier League side Newcastle United have approached Crystal Palace to discuss the possibility of acquiring the versatile winger and securing permission to negotiate with his representatives.


Manchester United and Manchester City have also expressed strong interest in Olise, who impressed in the previous Premier League season despite injury setbacks, contributing to sixteen goals in nineteen matches.


Olise is widely recognized as one of England's top young talents outside the traditional 'top six' clubs, which include Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, and Liverpool.


A year ago, Olise was on the verge of returning to Chelsea from Cobham, but the deal fell through amid allegations of rule violations and protocol breaches by the west London club.


Recently, Olise has been named in France's provisional squad for the 2024 Olympic Games, alongside Chelsea midfielder of Nigerian descent, Lesley Ugochukwu.
