Chelsea is reportedly preparing an approach to sign Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise as one of their top transfer options to strengthen their squad. Although Olise is open to a move to Stamford Bridge, he is said to prefer joining a club in the UEFA Champions League. The 22-year-old, who is contracted at Selhurst Park until 2027, is expected to attract interest from Manchester United as well. However, the Eagles are looking for a substantial offer of at least £60 million before considering letting him go. Chelsea is looking to offload some players from their squad before initiating any negotiations, with midfielder Conor Gallagher and defender Trevoh Chalobah linked with exits.
Barcelona’s Interest in Liverpool Winger
Barcelona has reportedly moved Liverpool winger Luis Díaz to the top of their transfer shortlist. The Blaugrana view the 27-year-old as a better fit for their squad than Nico Williams from Athletic Club and Spain. However, they may need to sell a player before making any signings this summer. Díaz, who made 51 appearances across all competitions for the Reds last season, is now a target for Barcelona as they look to strengthen their squad.
A transfer race could take place between Bayern Munich, Roma, and Napoli for Juventus winger Federico Chiesa. The Bianconeri are reportedly open to letting him leave if they receive an offer worth £40 million after talks over a new contract broke down due to salary demands. Roma manager Daniele De Rossi sees Chiesa as an ideal partner for Paulo Dybala in the forward line, potentially making a move to Serie A a possibility.
Interest in Lyon Attacking Midfielder
Several clubs are monitoring the situation of Lyon attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki, with Paris Saint-Germain rumored to be interested. However, competition from Premier League clubs could also arise. Lyon is open to the idea of parting ways with the 20-year-old this summer, but Cherki is reportedly reluctant to leave due to his “lucrative” contract with the French club.
Barcelona is expected to delay making a decision on the future of winger Ansu Fati. Despite interest from Sevilla, the Catalan club wants to see if new manager Hansi Flick plans to give the 21-year-old a chance in the first-team squad. Fati made 19 Premier League appearances while on loan at Brighton & Hove Albion last season, with only three starts to his name.
Liverpool goalkeeper Adrián is reportedly on the radar of Real Betis, with talks already held between the LaLiga side and the 37-year-old’s representatives. This has led Adrián to delay his decision on a contract extension offer from the Reds as he considers his options for the future.
