Chelsea activate Michael Olise's £35m release clause

The Frenchman is close to joining the Blues

Chelsea are close to signing Michael Olise and have reportedly activated the release clause of Crystal Palace’s forward.

The 21-year-old played for the French Under 21 team in the Euro U21 championship played in the summer. He went off injured and is still recovering.

Todd Boehly, the owner of Chelsea, has invested heavily since taking over the club. Yesterday, the Blues announced the signing of Brighton’s midfielder Moises Caicedo for a British record fee.

The Premier League side has spent over £900 million on transfers since the takeover.

Michael Olise has played 63 games in the Premier League and was involved in 20 goals. These include four goals and 16 assists.

The Eagles signed Olise from Reading in 2021 after making 67 appearances in the EFL Championship. Olise scored seven goals and provided four assists in the second division of England.

Olise is regarded as one of the biggest talents in world football. He has been linked with some of the biggest clubs in the world like Manchester City and PSG. It looks like Chelsea have beaten these clubs and will add him to their team.
