Bayern Munich has announced the signing of Michael Olise from Crystal Palace on a five-year contract worth €53 million, making him the fourth most expensive signing in the club’s history.
The young French star expressed his enthusiasm for the move, stating, “I want to prove myself at this level and play my part in ensuring that we win as many titles as possible with our team in the coming years.”
Olise, who will represent France at the upcoming Paris Olympic Games, said the talks with Bayern were very positive, and he’s happy to join such a big club. He added, “It’s a great challenge, and that’s exactly what I was looking for.”
Bayern Munich’s chief, Max Eberl, praised Olise’s unique style of play, saying, “Michael Olise is a player who can make the difference and attracted great interest with his style of play. We want new impetus in our team, new energy, new ideas – that’s what players like Michael Olise stand for.”
Eberl also highlighted Olise’s eagerness to join the club, saying, “During the talks, he quickly signalled that he really wanted to join FC Bayern. We’re very much looking forward to him. He will enrich our game.”
Olise will work under new manager Vincent Kompany and is expected to provide backup for Leroy Sane, but could potentially work his way into the starting lineup.
