Michael Olise has quickly become the beating heart of Bayern Munich’s attack, proving his worth just months after arriving for over €50 million in the summer of 2024.
While many expected the former Crystal Palace winger to need time to adapt, Olise hit the ground running and hasn’t looked back.
Week after week, the Frenchman delivers performances that drive the team forward, linking midfield to attack with style and precision. He doesn’t just look good on the pitch, he’s statistically the most creative player across Europe’s top five leagues. According to Squawka, Olise averages an astonishing 2.81 chances created per 90 minutes, more than any other player on the continent.
Ironically, the only player close to him is Desire Doue, whom Bayern had also targeted in the summer. The young talent chose Paris Saint-Germain instead, leaving Bayern fans wondering what could have been had the duo linked up on the wings.
Still, with Olise weaving magic game after game, Bayern may already have the best piece of that puzzle.
