“I want Chelsea move as soon as possible” – £60M Frenchman made decision to join Enzo Maresca at Chelsea
The winger for Crystal Palace is reportedly choosing to join Chelsea over Man United.
Olise had a memorable season the previous year despite missing a lot of time due to injury; nonetheless, towards the end of the campaign, he demonstrated his incredible potential.
Due to his impressive play for Palace in the latter few months of the season, there has been a lot of transfer rumours in the media suggesting that he will be moved to a major league team this summer. Chelsea and Manchester United have both been connected with a move.
Although Olise’s contract at Selhurst Park is set to expire in 2027, there is rumored to be a release clause for up to £60 million, a sum that the big Clubs are prepared to pay Palace to complete a transfer.
But discussing CHELSEA transfer news recently, journalist Simon Phillips told Caught Offside that he has heard confidence Olise will pick Chelsea over the Red Devils: “I’m hearing more and more winger noise from sources, and the two names I’m hearing the most is Michael Olise and Crysencio Summerville of Leeds United.
“Olise is a long-term club target now with Joe Shields driving the move. A second source has now added more confidence that Olise will pick Chelsea over Manchester United, following on from my top source saying that last week.
‘We will have to see how that one unfolds in the next days/weeks.”
