The Eagle has landed! Bayern Munich confirm Olise after beating Chelsea to €60m signing

Bayern Munich have signed winger Michael Olise from Crystal Palace on a five-year deal after paying a release clause of around £60m.

The 22-year-old English-born France Under-21 forward made 90 appearances in all competitions over three seasons with Palace, scoring 10 goals in 19 Premier League appearances last season as Palace finished 10th in the table.

He joined the Eagles from Reading for £8m in July 2021. Chelsea and Newcastle United showed interest in Olise earlier this summer, but he chose to move to Germany, where he will play under Bayern's new manager Vincent Kompany.

"I'm very happy to now be playing for such a big club - it's a great challenge and that's exactly what I was looking for," Olise said.

"I want to prove myself at this level and play my part in ensuring we win as many titles as possible in the coming years."

Olise has also been selected for France's Olympic squad, which will compete in Paris later this month.
