Bayern Munich is edging closer to securing a deal for Michael Olise from Crystal Palace, sources have revealed. Despite Palace’s reluctance to part ways with the 22-year-old, they understand his desire to advance his career. Recently, Palace granted permission for three clubs, including Chelsea, Bayern, and Newcastle United, to engage in talks with Olise.
Initially, Manchester United was anticipated to join the pursuit of Olise, having monitored him for an extended period. However, United has opted to focus on bolstering other areas of their team, actively pursuing center-backs Jarrad Branthwaite and Leny Yoro, as well as Bologna striker Joshua Zirkzee. This strategic move by United has provided an opening for other clubs to make a move for Olise.
Sources have disclosed that Olise is now leaning towards Bayern Munich as his next destination. Despite Palace’s efforts to convince him to sign a new contract, Olise seems determined to part ways. The negotiations between the two clubs are currently underway to finalize a deal. Olise’s impressive performance last season, with 10 goals and six assists in 19 appearances, has certainly caught the attention of Bayern Munich.
Chelsea’s Previous Interest
Chelsea, who had previously attempted to secure Olise’s signature last summer without success, has shifted their focus to other targets. The club is currently in discussions with Aston Villa regarding forward Omari Kellyman. Chelsea is prepared to offer around £19 million ($24m) for the 18-year-old, who joined Villa from Derby in 2022.
Bayern Munich seems to have the upper hand in the pursuit of Michael Olise from Crystal Palace. Olise’s desire to explore new opportunities and further his career, coupled with Bayern’s interest in his services, could pave the way for a successful transfer. While other clubs like Chelsea and Newcastle United were initially in the running, it appears that Bayern Munich is now in pole position to secure Olise’s signature. Fans eagerly await the outcome of the negotiations between Bayern Munich and Crystal Palace, as the talented winger looks set to make a significant move in his career.
