Chelsea may have an advantage over Manchester United in the competition to sign Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise this summer. Despite being affected by injuries in the last season, the French player still managed to impress with 10 goals and six assists in 19 games. Olise currently has a release clause of £60 million in his contract, and reports suggest that Crystal Palace are preparing for his potential departure. While both United and Chelsea have shown interest, there are concerns that United might miss out on signing him. Joe Shields, Chelsea's co-director of recruitment and talent, has a strong connection with Olise from their time at Manchester City, potentially giving Chelsea an edge over Manchester United. After an unsuccessful attempt to sign Olise last summer, Chelsea is determined to secure his services this time. Furthermore, Olise's arrival could lead to the departure of Noni Madueke as Chelsea needs to balance their books due to PSR limits.
