English Premier League (EPL) clubs Chelsea and Crystal Palace have both agreed personal terms for the transfer of France, Algeria and Nigerian-eligible player Michael Olise.
This news was made known in a report published by GIVEMESPORTS, which disclosed that both clubs will now discuss scheduling payments for the player’s release clause.
Reports say Chelsea retains a strong interest in the dazzling Crystal Palace player, who has a £60 million clause and are ready to offer players in exchange.
According to transfer journalist Graeme Bailey, Chelsea’s hierarchy is looking to move Sterling and would be willing to massively subsidise his wages.

This comes after reports revealed that Manchester United are currently leading the race to sign Olise should he leave his club in the summer.
Olise’s contract contains a release clause that kicks in after the season, and the player has been singled out by United’s new INEOS ownership as a major target for their summer rebuild.
The precise cost of a deal to sign Olise is unknown, although it would be far more than the £35 million ($43.7 million) clause in his previous contract. According to one report, the sum is between £50 and £60 million.
