Chelsea and Manchester City are both interested in signing Crystal Palace midfielder Michael Olise, according to reports.
The 21-year-old has a release clause in his contract worth around £35 million, and both clubs are reportedly willing to meet that price.
Olise had a breakthrough season for Palace last year, scoring two goals and providing 11 assists in 32 Premier League appearances. He is a versatile player who can play as a winger, attacking midfielder, or even as a false nine. His dribbling skills and vision are his main strengths, and he has also shown a good eye for goal.
Both Chelsea and Manchester City are looking to add creativity to their midfields, and Olise would be a perfect fit for either team. However, there is some uncertainty about his fitness, as he picked up an injury last month. Both clubs are waiting for clarity about his condition before making a move.
If Olise is fit, he is likely to be a hot commodity this summer. Chelsea and Manchester City are not the only clubs interested in him, and it is possible that he could end up moving to a different team. However, if he does stay in the Premier League, he is sure to be a key player for his new club.
