Chelsea have made Michael Olise one of their targets this summer, and the Blues will compete with Manchester United for the Crystal Palace star.
Olise was followed by Chelsea last summer, but eventually signed a new contract to remain at Selhurst Park.
Chelsea have continued to monitor his progress closely and are reportedly now in a position to renew their interest in the 22-year-old.
Olise is expected to be a sought-after boy this summer, having scored 10 goals and six assists in an impressive season with Palace.
The former Chelsea academy star is said to be satisfied at Selhurst and excited about his future new boss, Oliver Glasner.
But he has the biggest ambitions for his career and is open to possibilities.
Olise would prefer any change in the Champions League, but he may also be tempted by the right proposal from a team looking to make great progress.
Chelsea are confident they can show they have absolute compatibility in that category, and the Blues’ bosses are aiming to be in the top four under new head coach Enzo Maresca next season.
And Les Bleus will take advantage of the higher expectations around Maresca’s arrival in the promotion of possible new signings such as Olise.
Chelsea need to balance their quest for the world’s emerging ability with players who are already familiar with the rigors and demanding situations of the Premier League.
Blues bosses Olise would prove to be a smart pick at Stamford Bridge, signing alongside Noni Madueke as a forged option on the right wing.
Olise’s Palace contract runs until 2027 but has a buyout clause in his deal estimated at around £60m, the appeals insist the precise main points remain unclear amid a complex structure.
The palace chefs expect Olise and Eberechi Eze to stay, especially considering the sense of well-being that surrounds Glasner.
Chelsea are expected to be the first to go, with Conor Gallagher and Trevoh Chalobah heavily inclined to leave Stamford Bridge.
Tottenham and Aston Villa will do everything they can to sign England midfielder Gallagher this summer, but Chelsea need £50m for the 24-year-old.
Chelsea have maintained their interest in Villa striker Jhon Duran, but a partial transfer deal adding Duran for Gallagher would seem impossible.
The Blues have agreed to sign Tosin Adarabioyo from Fulham after the former Manchester City centre-back underwent a medical.
