Chelsea have been linked with a move for 22-year-old Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise in recent months.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Chelsea have now agreed on personal terms with Crystal Palace playmaker Michael Olise, who is thought to be a target for Manchester United as well.
Olise scored ten goals and picked up six assists last season, and he could prove to be a quality long-term addition to the Chelsea attack. Players like Noni Madueke and Mykhailo Mudryk have been quite underwhelming this past season, and Chelsea need to bring in an upgrade.
Olise will certainly be a quality option to have. He will add creativity, goals, flair, and technical ability to the side. The 22-year-old is widely regarded as one of the finest attacking talents in the league, and he has shown that with Crystal Palace.
Despite being plagued with injuries last season, he managed to pick up 16 goal contributions in all competitions. The 22-year-old will certainly hope to join a big club soon, and moving to Chelsea will be an attractive option for him.
Meanwhile, Manchester United seem interested in signing the player as well. The Red Devils need to bring in an upgrade on Antony, who has been quite underwhelming since the big-money move from Ajax. The Brazilian will have to be replaced if Manchester United are serious about winning major trophies.
Olise would be a solid long-term acquisition for them. The opportunity to join Chelsea or Manchester United will be quite attractive for the player, and it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
Michael Olise needs to join a top club
The 22-year-old is a prodigious talent with a big future. Joining a big club could accelerate his development. He would get to work with top-class managers at the big clubs. It will be interesting to see if Chelsea can secure an agreement with Crystal Palace now.
The Eagles will not want to sell a key player like him for cheap, and Chelsea will have to shell out a premium for Olise. Both Manchester United and Chelsea have the financial resources to pay a big price for the player, and it remains to be seen who comes forward with an official proposal first.
Chelsea had a disappointing 2023/24 season, and they missed out on Champions League qualification. Manchester United missed out on a top-four finish as well. Both clubs will be desperate to finish high up the table, and they will need to bring in the right players in order to get back to their best.
