Bayern Munich chief sends out strong warning on Michael Olise’s future after talk of €100m bids from Liverpool, Man City and Chelsea

Speaking just a few months into his time with the Bavarian giants, Olise gave an insight into just how much he has embraced everything Bayern since arriving.

“When I found out FC Bayern were seriously interested in me, it was an unbelievable moment. Now I’ve been here for a few months and realise the spirit of the club much more,” he told the club’s official magazine in December 2024.

“This mentality of always wanting to win is quite impressive, and is also the biggest difference to my previous club Crystal Palace. We were often the underdogs there – that’s never the case with Bayern! And the pressure here is very high because we really want to and must win every game. I like that, though. I feel that the pressure is making me a better player.

“Every time I see the Bayern badge on my shirt, I feel a part of something big. I want to keep improving, though, and produce top-level performances more consistently. I have the feeling there’s a lot more to come. I’m working very hard on that every day because I don’t just want to win as many trophies as possible with FC Bayern – I want to step up in the big moments, make history with this team, leave a legacy. If that wasn’t my ambitions, I’d be in the wrong place.”
