July 7, 2024

Michael Olise has set his sights on winning a title with Bayern Munich after completing his move from Crystal Palace.

Olise has signed a five-year contract with the German giants, who also boast England captain Harry Kane and are coached by former Burnley head coach Vincent Kompany.

The 22-year-old winger joined Palace from Reading in July 2021 and made 90 appearances for the Eagles, scoring 16 goals.

“The talks with FC Bayern were very positive and I am very happy to now play for such a big club,” Olise said on his new club’s website.

“It’s a great challenge and exactly what I was looking for.

“I want to prove myself at this level and do my part to ensure that our team wins as many titles as possible in the coming years.”

Palace chairman Steve Parish said: “We are enormously proud of what Michael has achieved at Crystal Palace, a club where he has developed tremendously as a player.

“We respect his desire to continue to prove himself at the highest level of world football and I would personally like to wish him all the very best for his next adventure with Bayern Munich in Germany, which we will all certainly be following closely.”
