Chelsea to battle Liverpool again for Lavia as they agree contractual terms with Olise.
Chelsea have reached a total agreement with crystal palace left winger Michael Olise on contract terms after tabling their contract proposal to the player. Chelsea want to reinforce the squad in the attack after Nkunku sustained a four months injury. Chelsea now must find a common ground to make an agreement with Crystal palace who have already declined two offers from Chelsea. Olise is believed to have a release clause worth £35M and Crystal palace want Chelsea to meet the clause or go higher in order to sign the player. Chelsea also tried to lure crystal palace by allowing Lewis Hall to go on loan. Chelsea will push again as they fear City who are also admirers of the player might cash in.
Romeo Lavia deal saga.
The battle between Liverpool and Chelsea over transfer signings continues after the Caicedo saga. Today Liverpool again have tabled a deal worth £60M for Southampton midfielder Romeo Lavia but they will face a test again from Chelsea who are heavily tracking the midfielder and still believe they are in a position to sign the player after agreeing contract terms days ago. The midfielder has shown desire to join Chelsea according to Tom Roddy and also there are also some worries from Liverpool as despite reaching an agreement with Southampton they haven’t arranged medical tests for the player as they fear it might end up like Caicedo saga as Chelsea have shown they are still in the race and the player is leaning towards Chelsea.
