Richard Olise, Chelsea, Michael Olise
10 June 2026
Chelsea have released Richard Olise after an 11-year spell in their academy, leaving the 20-year-old defender searching for a new club this summer. He departs without making a senior competitive appearance for the Stamford Bridge side.
Olise was part of Chelsea’s retained and released list as the academy structure shifts again. His exit contrasts with older brother Michael Olise’s rise at Bayern Munich and with France, underlining football’s uneven development paths.
