Chelsea Still Interested In Signing Crystal Palace Attacker Despite New Contract
Chelsea’s interest in Crystal Palace’s Olise persists, despite the winger recently penning a new contract.
Having pursued Olise during the summer, it seemed likely that the former Chelsea youth player would make a return to Stamford Bridge after the West London club triggered his release clause.
However, the French international opted to stay put, committing to a new £100k-a-week deal at Selhurst Park. According to insights from journalist Simon Phillips, Chelsea’s pursuit of the France U21 star is far from over, with plans for a renewed approach in the upcoming 2024 summer transfer window.
One notable twist in the tale is that Crystal Palace, buoyed by Olise’s contract extension, will now be in a position to demand a significantly higher fee compared to the previous £35m release clause. This development underscores the strategic advantage gained by Olise in securing his new deal with the Eagles.
