Chelsea Continue negotiating Olise's deal

Chelsea are in negotiations with Crystal Palace about acquiring Michael Olise.

Despite starting only 14 games Last campaign due to hamstring injuries, the Crystal Palace player had a significant influence, scoring 10 goals and assisting six.

Chelsea eyed Olise the previous summer and triggered his £35 million release clause, he penned a new contract with Palace.

Chelsea has made a new effort to sign Olise and has requested Palace for approval to talk with Olise’s representation.

The Telegraph says that the Blues could encounter a transfer  difficulty since Olise has a £60 million release clause in his contract with Palace, which may only be triggered by a team competing in the Champions League

If this is the case, Chelsea will be required to negotiate a different transfer fee with Crystal Palace.

Chelsea is also in negotiations with Aston Villa about signing Jhon Duran, with reports saying that the clubs had agreed on a £42 million cost.
