Chelsea have reportedly made a £39m pound offer to sign Crystal Palace forward Michael Olise.
According to RMC Sport Chelsea have tabled an initial offer for the 21-year-old who has reportedly been ‘seduced by the project’ at Stamford Bridge.
Mail Sport understands that Olise has a £35m buyout clause in his contract at Palace.
The Blues have offered figures in excess of release clauses before – as they did with Villarreal to sign Nicolas Jackson – in a bid to secure a a more favourable payment plan.
Pochettino is a big admirer of the young winger and has already spoken to him, with Olise having reportedly agreed to join Chelsea if a deal can be reached.

Palace, meanwhile, are trying to convince him to stay and Pochettino’s side will likely need to trigger that buyout clause as Roy Hodgson’s side are reluctant to entertain negotiations to sell him.
Their offer that sits above his buyout clause may help them pip Manchester City in the race to sign him, with Pep Guardiola also eyeing up a move for the Crystal Palace prospect.
Olise’s contract is due to expire in 2026, with the Frenchman having spent two years at the south London outfit following his £8m transfer from Reading.
He has attracted attention from clubs around the Premier League and in Europe, with PSG being another club who have expressed their interest to sign him.

We’re still nursing the plains of loosing Saka to England, musiala and adeyemi to Germany and boom here comes olise to France…..
NFF una Weldon oOoOO ….
So does it mean we don’t have an ex international to can saddle the responsibility of spotting out talents both in Europe and in Nigeria?
If this young man was approached early when he was still in Reading fc in the championship, and integrated into our system, France wouldn’t have the upper hand but now the issue is synonymous to one “crying over a spoiled milk”……
All their interest is just how to smuggle those their below average and one season wonder into the super eagles.
They don’t have a single love for our dear super eagles just like those criminal politicians that doesn’t have any feelings to the people they’re governing.
Corrections pls
