Chelsea fans favorite player to leave club if Chelsea secure Enzo Maresca €70 million deal
If Chelsea makes this signing, Noni Madueke is a target for a Premier League team.
Noni Madueke has been considered by Newcastle United as a possible successor to Miguel Almiron, who is anticipated to depart this summer.
They have also expressed interest in Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise, who Chelsea is also pursuing.
Even if Olise isn’t being pursued by Newcastle, Madueke may become available if he signs with Chelsea, even though he has a seven-year contract with the club.
According to sources, Chelsea has already agreed to personal terms with Olise, putting them in the lead in the race to sign the winger.
Olise, who contributed 16 goals and assists in just 19 league appearances last season, has a reported €70 million release clause in his contract.
Chelsea’s pursuit of Olise comes after a disappointing season where they missed out on Champions League qualification. The club sees Olise as a key addition to rejuvenate their attacking options, particularly given the underwhelming performances of other wingers like Raheem Sterling and Mykhailo Mudryk.
Olise’s potential transfer is also attracting interest from Manchester United, who are looking to upgrade their squad following a similarly disappointing season.
For Madueke, after initially struggling at Chelsea, he became a regular in the second half of the season, and was one of Chelsea’s best players.
