Crystal Palace has expressed interest in Christ Inao Oulaï, a 19-year-old midfielder for Trabzonspor. Galatasaray, Tottenham, and West Ham have also shown an interest. Chelsea is considered the favorite and has identified the Ivorian international as a priority target. Oulaï has 6 caps for his country. The English club is in intensive negotiations with Trabzonspor to secure a deal before the summer transfer window. In the current Süper Lig season, Oulaï has made 17 appearances, scored 2 goals, and provided 4 assists. The Turkish club is not prepared to sell the player for less than €50 million. His contract runs until 2030. A reported €40 million offer from Chelsea was rejected in January 2026. Oulaï, who joined Trabzonspor from Bastia in August 2025 for a fee of €5.5 million, has a current Transfermarkt market value of €17.00m. Chelsea is preparing a final offer to accelerate the process.
