The young Ivorian midfielder from Trabzonspor, Christ Inao Oulaï, continues to make headlines on the European market. At just 20 years old, his performances in Turkey have caught the attention of several English clubs.

Chelsea FC is currently considered the most determined contender. The London club's management has been tracking the player for some time and is planning to launch a move at the end of the season. Brighton and Bournemouth remain interested, but appear to be trailing behind Chelsea, who have the financial muscle and a clear head start in the race.

But Trabzonspor remain firm: Christ Inao Oulaï will not leave for less than €40 million, with the total valuation hovering between €45 and €50 million. It's a hefty sum, but one that doesn't scare Chelsea, who are ready to invest in order to strengthen their midfield with a young and highly promising talent.
