Chelsea loves French players, it’s nothing to say! Wesley Fofana last summer, young defenders Benoit Badiashile and Malo Gusto at the start of the year then striker Christopher Nkunku this summer: the Blues have recently recruited 4 Habs.
And it’s not over since the English are also trying to attract the nugget of Montpellier Elye Wahi, already agreed with the London club. This Sunday, a new French talent is announced in the sights of the British team: Michael Olise!
Manchester City also on the lookout
At 21, the winger is already a real executive at Crystal Palace, with whom he took part in 37 Premier League games last season for 2 goals and 11 assists. His record of service earned him to participate in the Euro Espoirs with the Blueberries at least in June, where things went wrong, however, since after scoring the winning goal against Norway in the second match (1-0), the native of London was forced to forfeit for the rest of the tournament following a tear in the ischio of the left thigh. Chelsea, like Manchester City, also interested, would also await details on his state of health, revealed this Sunday the journalist Fabrizio Romano.

On his side, RMC Sport goes further and ensures that the Blues have already sent an offer to Palace! The exact amount of this has not been communicated but it would be “less than 45 million euros” according to the same source. At the same time, the team coached by Mauricio Pochettino offered a very attractive salary to Bleuet, which would have given its agreement in principle. On the other hand, Palace may be more difficult to convince since the young talent is under contract until June 2026 and the Eagles obviously intend to keep him for the new season. While PSG was also announced in the ranks a few months ago, the soap opera may only be beginning…
