Olise has received a’very attractive’ contract offer, but numerous teams, including Paris Saint-Germain and
Manchester City, are rumored to be interested in competing with Chelsea.
Olise previously attended Chelsea’s academy from 2009 until 2016, before going to City and then Reading, where he
rose to prominence.
The versatile London-born attacker, who can play as a winger or offensive midfielder, had a successful Premier
League season last year, scoring two goals and assisting 11 times.
Along with a significant pay boost, Chelsea can offer Olise the opportunity to play alongside some of his fellow
compatriots, including Wesley Fofana, Christopher Nkunku, Benoit Badiashile, and Malo Gusto.
If he returns to west London, he will be reunited with his younger brother Richard, who attends Chelsea’s academy.
Olise played for France at the European U21 Championships, but sadly suffered up a hamstring tear that will see him
miss the start of the Premier League season.
He still hopes to make Les Bleus’ senior team, and a move to Chelsea could pique Didier Deschamps’ interest.
After surpassing the record spend for a season with over £600 million spent out across the last two transfer
windows, Chelsea are once again active in the market.
Christopher Nkunku came from Leipzig for £52 million, and attacker Nicolas Jackson recently departed Villarreal
for £32 million.
Brazilian winger Angelo is another player who has arrived at Stamford Bridge for an estimated £13 million, but the
London club has also been busy selling players.
Kai Havertz, Mason Mount, Mateo Kovacic, Kalidou Koulibaly, Christian Pulisic, Eduoard Mendy, Ruben Loftus-
Cheek, and Ethan Ampadu have all brought in cash, totaling an estimated £218 million in Chelsea’s bank account.
