After hitting a big blow by attracting Michael Olise, Bayern Munich does not intend to stop there. The Bavarian club is actively working on a new track to strengthen its attacking sector, and not just any. The target is a player very close to the new Bayern star, a figure that has played a key role in its development. More than just a teammate, it is a real guide, the one who formed and pushed him to think differently. An arrival that could well transcend the simple frame of the land.

Not a coach, but a master of chess

This famous mentor is none other than Eberechi Eze, the attacking midfielder of Crystal Palace. And if Bayern courts it for his qualities as a footballer, his relationship with Olise far exceeds the lawns. Indeed, Eze is considered to be the “master” of olise … in chess. The French international is passionate about this strategy game, a hobby that helps him
“Concentrate your attention to something else” that football. And in this area, his former teammate in Palace served him as a real teacher.

This passion is no secret. Olise, which applies to failures the same offensive philosophy as on land, has already admitted to be sometimes being
“Too fixed on the attack »To the point of
“Forget defense”. A penchant that his mentor, Eze, did not fail to exploit during their parts. The recruitment of Eze by Bayern would therefore not only be a sporting reinforcement, but also the reformation of a duo of tacticians who likes to compete far from the cameras.

Eze in Bayern: the influence hidden behind olise

The Bayern locker room, a luxury chess club

The potential arrival of Eze would find a particular echo in Bavaria. The Bayern locker room is already a hideout of high -level chess players. Kingsley Coman is seen as the undisputed king, the one against whom he himself admits to having “Virtually no chance”. Joshua Kimmich is also a formidable opponent, in front of whom Olise believes he has “Better chances”. The arrival of Eze would only strengthen this
“Faction” of strategists.

This file shows that Bayern is not only trying to stack the talents, but also to create a real alchemy. If the transfer materializes, the club will recruit a “Grand Master”
Capable of challenging King Coman and reforming his duet with olise. A unique story for a club which, it is no coincidence, has its own official section of chess. To the delight of his “crazy rider”, Michael Olise, who would find his favorite game partner in Munich.
