The England winger who will help Bayern Munich compete for the title next season has finally arrived in Munich.
Michael Oliseh’s arrival in Munich was reported by Germany’s Bild on July 7, with the headline, “Bayern’s newest recruit is here.
Oliseh was recently rumored to be close to joining Bayern, which had Bayern fans excited. Florian Plettenberg, a journalist for Sky Sports Germany who is well versed in Bayern news, recently tweeted on his personal social media account, “Oliseh is joining Bayern. The club has reached a full agreement with Crystal Palace. European soccer transfer market expert Fabrizio Romano also confirmed the news of Oliseh’s move to Bayern, writing his signature phrase, “Here we go!” to confirm the transfer.
The Bavarians are heavily invested in reinforcements as they look ahead to their first season under Vincent Kompany next season. Hiroki Ito has already been added to the defense, and Oliseh has emerged as a top priority in the attacking lineup.
‘Oliseh has arrived,’ Bild reported, ‘and he landed at Munich Airport after departing London on Sunday morning. We expect the contract to be signed today. He will now complete his medical tests. He arrived at the hospital’s underground parking lot at 11:44 a.m. and has since moved to the first floor. ‘If all goes well, Max Eberle will sign a contract that will run until the summer of 2029,’ said the club’s director of football.
‘His transfer fee is €51 million, with a bonus of €5 million. Oliseh will reportedly replace Kingsley Coman and Serge Gnabry. Both players are injury-prone and 토토사이트 suffered four injuries last season,” the report said.
However, despite joining Bayern, Oliseh is unlikely to travel to South Korea this summer. ‘Oliseh didn’t play at the Euros but was named in the U-23 squad, so he’ll be traveling again to join Thierry Henry’s Olympic squad,’ Bild explained. This means he will most likely miss the training camp in Tegernsee and the Asian tour to South Korea.
After making his professional debut for Reading, Oliseh made his Crystal Palace debut in the 2020-2021 season after breaking out for Reading. While at Palace, he began to adapt to the English Premier League (EPL) and his potential was realized in the 2022-2023 season. After scoring two goals and providing 11 assists in 40 games that season, Oliseh exploded with 10 goals and six assists in 19 games in 2023-2024, despite missing a number of games due to injury.
Bayern wanted a winger to replace Kingsley Coman, Sergi Gnabry, and the up-and-down Leroy Sane, who had all missed time with injuries this season, and Kompany, who had already seen Oliseh’s performances in the English Premier League (EPL), asked for the player.
Ultimately, the signing of Oliseh will be the start of Bayern’s attacking overhaul this summer. It will be interesting to see if he can bring his EPL skills to Bayern next season.
