Bayern Munich signed 22-year-old striker Michael Olise from Crystal Palace on Sunday in search of “new energy, new ideas” after their first trophyless season in 12 years.

Olise signed a five-year contract with Bayern and scored 10 goals in 19 Premier League appearances last season – but missed most of the season through injury – and was a key player for Crystal Palace at the end of the season. important. Olise is the second confirmed transfer since Bayern Munich hired Vincent Kompany as manager, having previously brought in Japanese defender Hiroki Ito from Stuttgart.

Bayern Sports president Max Eberl said in a statement: “Michael Olise is a player who can make a difference and his playing style is very impressive.” “We want our team to have a new motivation, a new energy, new ideas, so that players like Michael Olise represent. He quickly expressed his desire to join Bayern during the meeting. We are looking forward to this. It will strengthen our game. Impressed Crystal Palace manager Steve Parish said: “He has developed as a player at this club.” Our next adventure will be in Germany with Bayern Munich and I’m sure we’ll all be following it closely. ” Bayern lost the Bundesliga title to Bayer Leverkusen and finished third under former coach Thomas Tuchel. He is trying to rebuild the team after the championship.

Bayern have been linked with several potential new signings, including Fulham defender Joao Palinha, whom they failed to sign a year ago. What is less clear is that as new developments accelerate, existing Bayern players will be sold to make room for new players.
