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 the French winger as well, but the Bundesliga Giants managed to win the race for his services. According to a report from the Mirror, Bayern Munich believe that they have landed a player worth £100 million. The German 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 he 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. He 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.
Man United needed someone like Michael 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, the French winger will certainly hope to succeed in the Bundesliga and win major trophies with Bayern Munich in the coming seasons. The German outfit have a proven track record when it comes to pushing for major trophies consistently and the former Crystal Palace attacker will look to pick up his first trophy with them soon.
