Michael Olise signs for Bayern

During his three seasons at Palace, the 22-year-old forward for France Under-21, who was born in England, made 90 appearances in all competitions.

Olise signed a five-year contract after joining the Eagles for £8 million in July 2021 from Reading.

Earlier this summer, Olise attracted interest from Chelsea and Newcastle United, but he decided to travel to Germany and work under new Bayern manager Vincent Kompany.
“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,” said Olise.

“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.”

In 19 Premier League games, Olise netted 10 goals, helping Palace place 10th in the standings the previous year.

He’s been added to the France Olympic team, which will begin in Paris later this month.
“We are hugely proud of what Michael has achieved at Crystal Palace, a club where he has developed greatly as a player,” said Eagles chairman Steve Parish.

“We respect his desire to further test himself at the highest level of world football.”
