The player came very close to moving to Chelsea last season, but preferred to renew his contract with Crystal Palace until 2027. With the Bavarians, he must sign a five-year contract.
Olise, who spent time in the youth teams of Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City, has been at Crystal Palace since 2021.
Despite facing constant injuries, the athlete had a standout season in 2023/24. With ten goals and six assists in 19 matches played for Crystal Palace, Olise proved to be an essential part of the London team’s surge in the second half of the English Championship, which saw the team come out of the fight against relegation to finish the championship in tenth place.
