Bayern Munich’s sports director, Christoph Freund, has issued a message to Chelsea and any other clubs interested in signing Michael Olise.
Last week, it was reported that Chelsea, Manchester City, and Liverpool are all interested in Olise.
The Blues had previously showed interest in the winger. Chelsea coveted Olise last summer before he moved to Bayern.
Chelsea also considered Olise in 2023, but the fear of legal action from Crystal Palace caused the arrangement to collapse. The Eagles were reportedly upset with Chelsea’s approach to the France international.
Chelsea has no chance of signing Michael Olise; Christoph Freund expects a nine-year tenure.
Chelsea’s loss has undoubtedly been Bayern’s gain, and the German club’s sporting director has no intention of allowing the Blues to make amends for not doing more to sign Olise.
Freund told Sky Sports that there is no pressure on Bayern to sell the 23-year-old. We can imagine him playing for Bayern for the next seven, eight, or nine years. Michael has a long-term deal; he showed himself and moved forward.”
Olise helped Bayern recover the Bundesliga crown from Bayer Leverkusen last season.
Olise recorded 12 goals and 15 assists in 34 league appearances. It is hardly surprising that some of the Premier League’s major clubs are interested in signing him.
Chelsea signed Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens this summer, and Estevao Willian has finally arrived from Palmeiras. However, it appears that the Conference League holders would not turn down the opportunity to sign Olise.
Estevao is now WhoScored’s top-rated young player in England’s top flight. Chelsea fans would definitely like to see the Brazilian and Olise on the flanks at Stamford Bridge.
How Michael Olise compares with Chelsea’s current wingers
Estevao and Neto have been Chelsea’s two best wingers this season, but Olise has outperformed the duo and the rest of the Blues’ wide attackers.
Olise, for example, has more goals, assists, and vital passes per game than Estevao and Neto combined.
It is unlikely, but if Chelsea does manage to sign Olise, he will immediately become their best wide man.
