Chelsea have reportedly suffered a setback in their race to sign one of the Premier League's hottest properties.
Premier League side Crystal Palace are reportedly set to offer star winger Michael Olise a new bumper deal to thwart any summer move to Chelsea.
The contract will reportedly include a release clause valid for 2025 as the Eagles battle hard to keep their prized asset.

Michael Olise: 7 interesting facts to know about the Nigerian-born winger who is on the radar of top Premier League sides
Michael Olise is a young winger currently playing in the Premier League. The skillful left-footed soccer player is eligible to represent up to four countries at the senior level due to his mixed-heritage family.
Olise to snub Chelsea move for new contract?
According to Fabrizio Romano, who posted on his X account, Olise will receive a hugely improved salary to match his new status.
Chelsea failed in their attempts to sign Olise last summer despite making a £35million offer, and they have been frontrunners to land him this summer.
There have been reports that Chelsea could add Noni Madueke to sweeten the deal for Palace, but that is now unlikely to materialise.
Olise's star has been steadily rising at Palace over the past two seasons, and he's now made 82 league appearances in which he's scored 14 goals.
