Michael Olise’s surprise move from Crystal Palace to Bayern Munich last summer raised eyebrows, especially considering that no Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, seemed to show interest despite the uncertainty surrounding Mohamed Salah’s future at Anfield. Pundit Didi Hamann expressed his surprise, believing that Olise would have been an ideal candidate to replace Salah at Liverpool. “I’m very surprised no one picked him up in England, if anyone was to replace Mohamed Salah, it would be Michael Olise. He’s a brilliant player, he can score goals and create,” Hamann said, adding that Bayern Munich will likely be reluctant to part with the French winger. He also suggested that top English clubs like Liverpool or Manchester United might make a move for Olise, given his potential. Hamann further emphasized that while Olise needs a few more years to reach his full potential, he has the ability to develop into a player as impactful as Arjen Robben.
Since his move to Bayern Munich, Olise has shown flashes of brilliance but has also had some inconsistent performances. Despite his ups and downs, Olise has demonstrated considerable promise in his short time at the German giants. However, competition for starting minutes in Bayern’s attacking lineup has been fierce, leaving Olise in a battle to secure a regular spot. The key challenge for him moving forward will be to maintain consistency and harness his immense potential.
Olise’s promising start at Bayern has shown his talent, but the next step for him will be to channel his ability into more consistent performances. His ability to score and create could make him a major asset for Bayern, provided he continues to develop and earn his place in the starting lineup.
