Juventus could have the upper hand over Chelsea in the race for one winger this summer.

Chelsea are still interested in signing Crystal Palace wide man Michael Olise after failing to land the 22-year-old last summer, according to ESPN.

However, a report from The Telegraph now claims that Juventus are also keen on Olise and could offer Matias Soule in a part-exchange deal.

Olise is currently out injured but was on fire before heading to the treatment table.

This season, the France U21 international has scored six goals and provided three assists in 11 Premier League appearances.

Chelsea facing competition from Juventus for Michael Olise

If Chelsea go back in for Olise, it looks like Juventus are another outfit they are going to have to compete against for the Palace star’s signature.

Manchester United are also interested in him, reports ESPN, so there could be a real transfer tussle for his services in the summer.

Hopefully having the opportunity to remain in London will appeal to Olise, as he could be a very good signing for Mauricio Pochettino‘s side.

The former Reading man is a Premier League-proven winger who is now starting to add an end product to his game. If not, it is not as if Chelsea have the worst wide options right now.

The Blues still have the experienced Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer, with the latter being exceptional this season. He has mostly played on the right flank and has come up with 21 goal contributions in 29 appearances this term.

There is still Mykhailo Mudryk, who the club invested a lot of money in, as well.

Olise has a £60m release clause, the Daily Mirror claims, so that is another expensive winger who Chelsea would have to try and fit in, though some of his recent performances would suggest that he could be worth the money.
