Chelsea make contact to clarify exactly what Michael Olise’s release clause entails after UECL qualification

Chelsea set to move wisely to sucessfully negotiate the Michael Olise release clause

Chelsea appear to be leading the race to acquire their priority target, Michael Olise, and they hope to outmaneuver Manchester United for his signing. However, they will be cautious this time about his release clause. Last summer, they believed they had activated his clause, only for the deal to collapse.

According to ESPN, Olise has a release clause worth between £50 million and £60 million, with uncertainty over whether it applies only to clubs in the Champions League. Chelsea hopes to clarify this situation before proceeding with Olise’s signing.

The West Londoners have only secured a Europa League spot, which could pose a problem if the clause applies exclusively to Champions League teams. This issue could also affect Manchester United, who have similarly secured a Europa League spot. Both clubs will need to determine the exact terms of Olise’s release clause to avoid any complications and ensure a smooth transfer process.

Crystal Palace is keen on keeping Michael Olise, but the heavy interest from Premier League clubs could make it difficult, potentially leading to his departure before the start of the new season. However, Chelsea needs to move carefully this time. Previously, they believed they had activated his release clause, only for the deal to collapse and Olise to sign a new contract with Palace.

Olise is an ideal match for Chelsea, potentially forming a formidable partnership with Cole Palmer due to their creative playmaking abilities. This duo could significantly enhance Chelsea’s attacking prowess, providing numerous opportunities for the strikers and making their attacking unit a nightmare for any Premier League defense. However, his injury history is a concern, as he played in just 19 Premier League games last season due to fitness issues.

Transfers have indeed become very sensitive, and it’s crucial for both clubs to reach an agreement before the interested party strikes a verbal agreement with the player. Last season, Crystal Palace was planning to take legal action against Chelsea because of their approach for Olise. To avoid such complications, Chelsea must ensure they come to an agreement with Palace first.

Reaching a mutual understanding with Crystal Palace will help Chelsea avoid any legal issues and pave the way for a smoother transfer process. This approach will not only respect the protocols but also maintain a good relationship between the clubs. Once an agreement is in place, Chelsea can then proceed to negotiate terms with Olise, ensuring that all parties are on the same page and the transfer can proceed without any hitches.
