“Chelsea” will pay the release clause of Michael Olis from “Crystal Palace”.

Chelsea have made a good start to the week and officially unveiled Moises Caicedo, a £115m signing from Brighton, on Monday.

Immediately after that, the Londoners began negotiations with Southampton to complete the transfer of Romeo Lavia, but they are not stopping there.

14 months after being taken over by billionaire Todd Boley, Chelsea are fast approaching £1 billion, money that has been spent on transfers alone.

The team coached by Mauricio Pochettino decided on Tuesday to pay the release clause of Michael Olise from Crystal Palace, which means around £35 million.

He was in the Blues’ academy from 2009 to 2016 and is returning to play for the Londoners’ senior team.

He is currently injured and will return at the end of September.

Oliseh was also courted by Manchester City and has made no fewer than 71 appearances since joining Crystal Palace. Developing on the right wing, Michael Olise has 6 goals and 19 assists.
