It will be a long summer for Max Eberl and those responsible at FC Bayern. Because even if the record champions’ management unanimously assures that top star Michael Olise is not for sale, the rumors do not stop.
The Frenchman is currently with the national team at the World Cup, but it is not his performance on the pitch that is causing discussion, but rather his future.
Because this is far from being resolved, if you believe the Spanish newspaper “AS”. A report there states that two European heavyweights have lined up to sign Olise.
These are Real Madrid and Paris St. Germain, who are apparently fighting to buy the 24-year-old. Last year he developed into probably the most sought-after offensive player in the world.
And as such, Olise of course also comes with a hefty price tag. Because although Olise is repeatedly portrayed as “unsaleable” at FC Bayern by Uli Hoeneß, Max Eberl and Herbert Hainer, Bayern are said to have a price in mind, according to “AS”. However, this is said to be higher than what Paris St. Germain paid for Neymar at the time – in 2017, PSG bought the Brazilian for 222 million euros.
Olise fuels speculation
And Michael Olise? He recently fueled speculation about a change. The Frenchman deleted all photos on Instagram, including those associated with FC Bayern. Currently you can only see a series of photos from France’s 3-1 opening win in the final against Senegal.
Exciting: In 2023, during his time at Premier League club Crystal Palace, Olise had already completely emptied his Instagram profile. About a year later he moved to FC Bayern.
