Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise has completed a high-profile transfer to Bayern Munich for a fee of approximately €60 million (£50 million).
The 22-year-old English-born France Under-21 forward has signed a five-year contract with the Bundesliga giants.
Earlier this summer, Chelsea and Newcastle United both registered interest in Olise. However, the winger opted for a move to Germany, where he will play under Bayern Munich’s new manager, Vincent Kompany.
Olise made 90 appearances across all competitions during his three-season tenure with Palace, contributing significantly to the team’s mid-table finish last season. He joined the Eagles from Reading for £8 million in July 2021 and has since become one of the Premier League’s standout young talents. Last season, Olise scored 10 goals in 19 Premier League appearances, showcasing his potential and attracting interest from several top clubs.
Expressing his enthusiasm about the move, Olise said, “I’m very happy to now be playing for such a big club – it’s a great challenge and that’s exactly what I was looking for. I want to prove myself at this level and play my part in ensuring we win as many titles as possible in the coming years.”
Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish praised Olise’s development at the club and acknowledged his desire to compete at the highest level. “We are hugely proud of what Michael has achieved at Crystal Palace, a club where he has developed greatly as a player,” Parish stated. “We respect his desire to further test himself at the highest level of world football.”
Bayern Munich, eager to reclaim their Bundesliga title after Bayer Leverkusen ended their 11-year dominance last season, are bolstering their squad with these strategic signings. Olise’s addition will undoubtedly strengthen their attacking options as they aim for both domestic and international success.
