Amidst summer transfer speculations, Michael Olise, the France U21 international of Nigerian descent, has caught the attention of top Premier League clubs.
However, Olise's involvement in group training sessions with Crystal Palace has been on hold as he recovers from an injury sustained during the 2023 European U21 Championship.
Fabrizio Romano, a renowned Italian transfer market expert, confirmed that Chelsea has a strong interest in Olise, who was also invited to the Super Eagles squad in 2021.
However, Chelsea has not made an official bid to Crystal Palace yet, and they are monitoring Olise's injury situation closely before deciding on their next move.
Quoted in the Chelsea Chronicle, Romano mentioned that Chelsea genuinely admires Michael Olise, but they are aware of the £35 million release clause.
Their interest in making a move for the winger hinges on learning the extent of his injury and how long he will be sidelined.
Not only Chelsea but also Manchester City, another prominent Premier League club, is exploring various options in the transfer market to fill the void left by Riyad Mahrez, who recently joined Al-Ahli.
Olise is on their radar as well, and they are considering him as a potential addition to their squad.
Last season, the young English-French-Nigerian-Algerian star demonstrated his skills in 40 games, scoring two goals and providing an impressive eleven assists.
His standout performances have made him a sought-after talent in the transfer market, and Premier League clubs are closely monitoring his situation as they plan their moves for the upcoming season.
