Two years after his move from Crystal Palace to Bayern Munich, 24-year-old Michael Olise is once again making headlines in the transfer market. Both Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are reportedly keen on the winger. Could he be on the move this summer after the World Cup with France? Didier Deschamps has weighed in with his opinion.
Could Michael Olise become the summer’s hottest property? After providing an assist for Kylian Mbappé on Tuesday during his World Cup debut for France, the right winger cemented his place as an undisputed starter in Didier Deschamps‘ attacking setup. This follows a outstanding season with Bayern Munich, where he scored 22 goals and provided 26 assists across all competitions. Unsurprisingly, both PSG and Real Madrid are said to be interested in the London-born star, who has notched three goals and one assist in his last two appearances for Les Bleus.
“He has developed”
Didier Deschamps gave an interview in recent days where the topic of Michael Olise naturally came up. Before addressing the recurring transfer speculation, the France manager expressed satisfaction with Olise’s growth. “Michael Olise has made incredible progress. Things were a bit difficult and challenging with us in the France team at the start. But through perseverance and support, he has developed.”
“He will continue to shine if he stays at Bayern Munich”
From Didier Deschamps‘ perspective, Vincent Kompany deserves significant credit for Olise’s current level. That is why the forward should prioritise staying at Bayern Munich rather than potentially answering the calls of Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid. “Coach Vincent Kompany also played a decisive role in Michael’s meteoric rise. He has had an exceptional season under his guidance, showing efficiency, character and personality. He will continue to shine if he stays at Bayern Munich.”
