Bayern Munich are close to signing Michael Oliseh (23, Crystal Palace).
“Bayern Munich have agreed a deal to sign Palace winger Oliseh,” Sky Sports reported on April 22 (ET). They will pay a transfer fee of €60 million, including add-ons,” reported Sky Sports.
Florian Flotenberg also used the term “done deal”, saying: “Oliseh will join Bayern Munich. Everything has now been agreed with Palace. The contract runs until 2029. Bayern Munich will pay a transfer fee of €60 million. We have also finalized a verbal agreement with Oliseh.”
European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano also announced the imminent arrival of Oliseh to Bayern Munich with his signature “Here we go!” According to him, the transfer fee is a fixed amount of £45 million, plus a bonus of £5 million. 토토사이트 Bayern Munich have already informed Palace that they will trigger Oliseh’s buyout clause.
Born in 2001, Oliseh is a French winger who grew up in England from a young age.
He made a name for himself at Reading, where he scored seven goals and provided 12 assists in the English Championship in the 2020-2021 season.
Oliseh also made his mark in the Premier League. He joined Palace in 2021 and had a quiet first season with two league goals and five assists. But in 2022-2023, he showed his versatility with two goals and 11 assists in the league.
Oliseh really blossomed last season, scoring 10 goals and providing six assists in 19 games despite missing several games with a hamstring injury. He played in the center and on the flanks and was an ace alongside Eberechi Eze.
Above all, his individual skills were overwhelming. Oliseh led Palace’s second-half comeback with his silky dribbling, breakaway runs and sharp kicks. Naturally, many Premier League teams were salivating. Even before the end of the season, Chelsea, Manchester United, 사설 토토사이트 and Newcastle United were heavily linked with him. Manchester City were also very interested in him.
But Oliseh chose Bayern Munich.
The Bavarians were willing to pay for a UEFA Champions League (UCL) spot. According to Germany’s Bild, Oliseh will earn between €10 million and €12 million per year at Bayern Munich.
Other than Bayern Munich, all other teams have pulled out of the race. Chelsea made a competitive offer, but Oliseh wanted to move to Bayern Munich and, according to the BBC, was concerned about the high cost of the deal.
Other teams were also interested. United had been monitoring Oliseh for some time, but were not willing to spend big money on him as they were focused on strengthening other positions. Man City also reportedly didn’t dive in. Palace are in a position to make a big bid for Oliseh, as he is under contract until the summer of 2027.
Oliseh is expected to be the right man to solve Bayern Munich’s flanking woes, which saw them struggle to make it to the Champions League last season. “Oliseh is expected to replace Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry, who have been criticized for their recent ups and downs and injury problems,” says Bavarian Football. The 22-year-old is part of Max Eberle’s attempt to lighten the wage bill and inject talent into the squad.”
The Athletic added:
“Oliseh is left-footed but has played mainly on the right. He is confident, creative and capable of making things happen,” and “Oliseh is perfect for the start of a new era at Bayern Munich. He is a left-footed ball carrier and playmaker who will offer something that Vincent Kompany does not have.”
Bayern Munich are in urgent need of organizing their wing traffic. Gnabry has been a shadow of his former self due to frequent injuries, while Leroy Sané’s lack of defensive involvement and big ups and downs have left fans sighing. 토토사이트 추천 Comand has also been relegated to the bench. If Oliseh joins the squad, he can definitely earn a spot. Furthermore, he can also play in attacking midfield and could be a long-term alternative to the 1989-born Thomas Muller.
“Oliseh would be Bayern Munich’s most expensive player after Harry Kane, Matthijs de Ligt and Luka Hernandez,” says Bavarian Football. Will he bring the spark that coach Vincent Kompany needs to take his team to the next level? There’s still a lot of pre-season left to find out.”
