Friday's Chelsea transfer talk news roundup: Michael Olise, Emerson Palmieri

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest transfer talk for Chelsea on Friday, November 6.

The summer transfer window has now closed, with Chelsea among the busiest clubs and biggest spenders in world football.

After two windows without signing a single player, the Blues made up for lost time by splashing well over £200m on the likes of Kai Havertz, Timo Werner, Ben Chilwell, Edouard Mendy and Thiago Silva. Attention will now switch to the January window and whether Chelsea will invest heavily again.

Here, Sports Mole rounds up the latest news on possible comings and goings from Stamford Bridge.

Friday morning's Chelsea transfer talk news roundup:


Barcelona, Real Madrid 'keeping an eye on Michael Olise'

Reading youngster Michael Olise is reportedly being tracked by Barcelona and Real Madrid.

The 18-year-old, who has scored twice and registered three assists in 11 appearances for his Championship club this season, is believed to be a target for the likes of Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal.

However, according to reports in Spain, Barca and Madrid 'love' the versatile attacker, who will seemingly have the pick of a number of teams in 2021.

Olise's existing deal is due to expire in June 2022, and a recent report claimed that there is currently an £8m release clause in the Frenchman's contract.

The teenager spent time with Chelsea and Man City during his youth career before joining Reading, ultimately signing a professional contract with the Royals in July 2019.

Olise has scored twice and registered five assists in 38 first-team appearances for his English club.



Juventus 'leading race for Chelsea outcast Emerson Palmieri'

Juventus are reportedly leading Roma in the race to sign Emerson Palmieri from Chelsea in the January transfer window.

The Italy international was keen to leave Stamford Bridge in the summer but was unable to finalise a return to Serie A.

Emerson finds himself well down the pecking order at Chelsea and has yet to feature in the Premier League this term, with his only start in all competitions coming against Barnsley in the EFL Cup.

Calciomercato claims that the 26-year-old is not short of suitors in the Italian top flight, with Juventus now considered the frontrunners to land his signature.

Juve are said to have already made contact with the left-back's representatives in the hope of having an agreement in place before the window opens in eight weeks' time.
