Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise is poised to join Bayern Munich this summer, according to The Athletic. Olise has turned down offers from Chelsea and Manchester United, opting instead for the allure of playing in the Champions League next season.
Negotiations are currently underway between Crystal Palace and Bayern Munich regarding the player’s release clause. Despite having the option of a new contract at Selhurst Park, the 22-year-old has been enticed by the opportunity to compete at the highest level in Europe.
Olise had an impressive season, scoring 10 goals and recording six assists, marking the best haul of his career. He signed a new contract with Palace last August, earning a substantial £100,000 per week. However, the prospect of joining the Bundesliga giants has proven too tempting to resist.
Bayern Munich’s acquisition of Olise would bolster their attacking options as they aim for continued success in both domestic and European competitions.
