Bayern Munich announces signing of winger Olise from Crystal Palace


Bayern Munich has signed winger Michael Olise on a five-year deal from Crystal Palace, the Bundesliga club said on Sunday.

According to German media reports, Bayern will pay 60 million euros (64.15 million USD), including add-ons, to bring the 22-year-old London-born player to the Allianz Arena.

Olise scored 10 goals and provided six assists in 19 appearances last season, despite a campaign impacted by injuries.

โ€œI 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,โ€ Olise said.

He was reportedly pursued by several clubs, including Chelsea and Newcastle United, before ultimately choosing Vincent Kompanyโ€™s side.

Despite being born in England, Olise has played seven matches for the France Under-21 side, having a French-Algerian mother. He has been selected for the France squad for the Paris Olympics, which start in July.
