Premier League club Brighton is reported to be one of several clubs closely interested in Trabzonspor's Ivorian central midfielder Christ Inao Oulaï, with Bournemouth also mentioned as a suitor. However, Chelsea is described as being particularly serious about signing the 20-year-old player. The club has monitored his matches for a considerable time. The London club intends to make an offer when the season concludes. Trabzonspor is said to have a valuation of around 45-50 million Euro and will reportedly not consider offers below 40 million Euro. This is a fee Chelsea may be willing to pay in their determination to sign the player.
Oulaï joined the Turkish club in August 2025 and has a contract until June 2030. In the current Süper Lig season, he has contributed 2 goals and 4 assists in 20 appearances. The midfielder has also earned 8 caps for the Ivory Coast national team. His current Transfermarkt valuation is €17.00m.
