Under the leadership of their new manager, Mauricio Pochettino, the Blues are in the midst of a roster overhaul and have already sold several players, including Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Christian Pulisic, N’Golo Kante, Mateo Kovacic, Mason Mount, and Kai Havertz.
Olise has emerged as a top target for the West Londoners, who need reinforcements. According to the report, the Blues and the 21-year-old winger have already reached a personal agreement, and they are currently negotiating a fee with Palace.
According to RMC Sport, Olise has received an opening bid from Chelsea, and he is eager to join fellow countrymen Wesley Fofana, Christopher Nkunku, Benoit Badiashile, and Malo Gusto at Stamford Bridge.
According to The Daily Mail, Olise’s contract contains a £35 million release clause, but Chelsea has reportedly put in a £39 million bid to close the deal quickly and head off interest from rival clubs.
Olise joined Palace from Reading in 2019 and has three years left on his deal, but because Chelsea’s bid is higher than his release number, Palace may be inclined to take it.

Since breaking into Crystal Palace’s first team in 2021, the French U21 international has established a reputation as one of the Premier League’s most exciting young attackers.
Following his impressive performances for Palace, Olise is drawing interest from several clubs, but it seems like Chelsea is the favorite to seal a deal this summer.
Although Olise has his sights set on joining Chelsea to advance in his career, Palace is still holding out hope that it can convince him to sign a new deal that would eliminate his release clause.
