Bayern Munich signed Michael Olise from Crystal Palace in a £50 million deal in the summer transfer window, beating Manchester United to his signature.
Manchester United were keen on signing Michael Olise as well, but Bayern Munich managed to win the race for his services in a deal worth £50 million.
According to a report from Daily Mirror, Bayern Munich believe that they have landed a player worth £100 million. The Bundesliga outfit paid around £50 million to get the deal done, but they believe that Olise is worth double of that.
There is no doubt that the Frenchman is a top-class player with a bright future, and he could develop into a key player for the club in the long-term. The French attacker is versatile enough to operate on either flank as well as a central attacking midfielder. He will add goals and creativity to the Bayern Munich attack. He has the physical and technical attributes to do well in the Bundesliga as well.
It remains to be seen whether he can establish himself as an indispensable asset for the German club. Olise has proven his quality in the Premier League in the past, and there is no doubt that he has the attributes to develop into a world-class player.
Manchester United needed someone like Olise
Manchester United will certainly be disappointed to have missed out on a player of his quality. Olise would have been a major upgrade on Antony if Manchester United had signed him. The Brazilian winger has not been able to live up to the expectations since the big-money move from Ajax, and Manchester United should look to replace him as soon as possible.
Signing a quality right-sided winger could improve Manchester United immensely and help them challenge for major trophies. Meanwhile, Olise will certainly hope to succeed in the Bundesliga and win major trophies with Bayern Munich in the coming seasons.
The Bavarian giants have a proven track record of pushing for major trophies consistently, and the former Crystal Palace attacker will look to pick up his first trophy with them soon. As for Manchester United, it remains to be seen who they pursue for the right-wing berth next year.
