Michael Olise to Chelsea transfer stance clear as Moises Caicedo talks with Barcelona revealed

Chelsea aren't expected to spend as much in the January transfer window as they did last year, yet there is still plenty of life in the rumour mill. The Blues have been heavily linked with numerous big names this month, including the likes of Victor Osimhen, Michael Olise and Karim Benzema.

The Premier League are clamping down on finance-related rule breaks, so if Chelsea want some new faces around Stamford Bridge then they may need to offload some players. Conor Gallagher and Armando Broja, in particular, face uncertain futures with each of their potential departures going down as 'pure profit' on the books.

With that being said, the west Londoners have just a few days left to wrap up any business before the window slams shut. So, football.london has taken a look at some of the biggest Blues stories on Sunday, January 28.

Chelsea remain interested in signing Michael Olise in the summer transfer window, football.london understands. However, it's believed the Crystal Palace winger would favour a move to Manchester United, with Erik ten Hag also interested.

Despite being at Chelsea from the age of seven to 14, Olise has always been an avid Red Devils supporter. The 22-year-old is aware of interest from the Blues and United and is widely expected to leave Palace at the end of the season. Chelsea activated Olise's £35million release clause last summer and the winger looked set to move to Stamford Bridge.

However, Olise then penned a new four-year contract at Selhurst Park. Olise now has a new release clause in his latest contract with the Eagles that becomes active this summer. The exact figure of the clause remains unknown at this stage, though, but is expected to be considerably more than £35million.
