Online sports journal "The Athletic" reports that 22-year-old French winger Michael Olise wishes to join FC Bayern München. The sporting arm of America's main paper-of-record, the New York Times, reports that Bayern and Crystal Palace are now working on finalizing a transfer. Olise is said to be available for a release clause in his current contract with totals around €70 million.
After struggling with injury this season, Olise thrived under former Bundesliga trainer Oliver Glasner during the latter stages of this season. He wrapped up the current Premiership campaign with ten goals and seven assists in 19 EPL appearances for the south London side. Olise's exit clause was reportedly embedded in the contract extension he signing with Palace last summer.
