The transfer of French attacking player Michael Olise (22) from Premier League club Crystal Palace to FC Bayern Munich is perfect. As the German football record champions announced, Olise will receive a contract until the summer of 2029. The transfer fee is reported to be around 60 million euros including bonus payments.
“Michael Olise is a difference player who has put a lot of interest in his style of play. We want new impulses in our team, new energy, new ideas – that’s what players like Michael Olise stand for,” said sporting director Max Eberl about the new offensive player in Munich.
Olise moved from Reading FC to Crystal Palace in July 2021. In the last Premier League season he scored ten goals in 19 games. Olise plays on the offensive wing and should add to the competition in Munich against Leroy Sané, Kingsley Coman or Serge Gnabry.
Bayern have signed Japanese defender Hiroki Ito (VfB Stuttgart) for the upcoming season. In addition, defender Josip Stanisic (Bayer Leverkusen) and attacking player Arijon Ibrahimovic (Frosinone Calcio) are returning from their loan spells.
