Fabrizio Romano has stated that one player Chelsea are reportedly keen on signing is available for a price of £51m.
He took to Twitter to state that the upcoming transfer window is the first time the player is available for the release clause price in his contract.
It has been reported over the last few days that Chelsea are interested in a deal to potentially sign Dani Olmo at the end of the season.

Chelsea want Olmo
The Spaniard used this international break to show everyone how much quality he has, scoring a sensational goal in a friendly against Brazil.
It was another moment in what has been a really strong season for RB Leipzig, where he has been playing alongside another top target in Benjamin Sesko.
It was claimed that the interest in the player was through manager Mauricio Pochettino, who is clearly planning for the future despite there being no guarantees he will remain at Stamford Bridge himself.
Olmo available for £51m
If he does get his way though, Romano has claimed that one of his top targets is available for a fee of around £51m.

He said: “Dani Olmo’s contract at Leipzig includes €60m release clause that will become active starting from this summer.
“It’s first time since signing new deal in 2023. He scored yesterday on his first game as new number 10 for Spain, and could be one to watch in the summer.”
The addition of Olmo would likely come at the expense of Conor Gallagher, who is still being linked with a move away from the club at the end of the season.
This is despite him being a crucial member of the squad under Mauricio Pochettino this season, and captaining the side on a number of occassions.
He will have a year left on his current contract when this season comes to an end, and given the fact that a new one does not seem to be in the pipeline, the owners may look to cash in on his value.
