Bayern Munich are reportedly closing in on a deal to sign Michael Olise from Crystal Palace, with Chelsea cooling their interest.
According to a report from BBC Sport, German giants Bayern Munich are closing in on signing 22-year-old Crystal Palace attacker Michael Olise in the summer transfer window despite interest from Manchester United.
Chelsea were linked with the youngster as well. But the West London club have decided to abandon the move for the highly-coveted Crystal Palace playmaker. Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on the situation as well, and it seems that the Blues have decided to move on to other targets.
It will be interesting to see if they can bring in a quality alternative this summer. Chelsea are already lacking in the attacking unit, and they need to bring in someone who can add goals and creativity to the side.
The 22-year-old has proven himself to be a quality performer in the Premier League, and he has the quality to succeed in the Bundesliga as well. Bayern Munich needed to add more quality and depth to their attacking unit, and Michael Olise should prove to be a solid acquisition.
Olise is only going to get better with coaching and experience, and he could develop into a key player for the German side. It will be interesting to see if Manchester United act on their interest and come forward with an offer now. They will need to move swiftly if they want to beat Bayern Munich to his signature.
Olise will help Bayern Munich improve
The 22-year-old Crystal Palace winger will look to prove himself at the highest level, and a move to Germany will be an exciting opportunity for him. Bayern Munich are used to fighting for league titles and Champions League trophies, and it remains to be seen whether the French winger can win a major trophy with them next season.
There is no doubt that Michael Olise has the quality to develop into a top-class player, and he could transform Bayern Munich in the attack. Despite not playing regularly because of injury problems last season, he managed to score 10 goals in the Premier League, and he could form a quality partnership with the likes of Harry Kane next season. It will be interesting to see if the German outfit can now wrap up the transfer quickly.
