Chelsea have reportedly just activated the release clause to sign yet another player today!
Yesterday they announced the signing of midfielder Moises Caicedo from Brighton, but they are in no way finished yet for this transfer window.
Sources: Five clubs express an interest in signing Marc Cucurella this window!
The club are also looking to make some more signings, one of which is rising Premier League star Michael Olise from Crystal Palace, who has ironically already spent some time at Chelsea previously in the youth academy.
Three top sources have now reported that Chelsea have agreed a fee with Palace and agree to pay the release clause that it will take to sign Olise.
It’s time to fix the details now after the play has already given his ‘yes’ to the Chelsea move, according to Fabrizio Romano!
Chelsea have activated £35m release clause into Michael Olise’s contract — deal advancing to final stages 🚨🔵
Clause has always been there despite denials and all parties will be in touch to finalise the agreement.
