I don't see any limits. And the example of Ousmane Dembélé shows that a winger can become a world class footballer. It all always depends on the success of the team, especially in the Champions League, but yes, I have confidence in olise to get there. »» With a current contract until 2029, the club could consider an extension during the season according to Sport Bildeven if no official contact has yet been made with those around him.
Sports director Christoph Freund also highlights the attitude and integration of the winger in the locker room: “Michael Olise feels extremely comfortable in the group. It's a good mix at the moment. »» Freund highlights the club's new strategy, favoring a voluntarily more restricted workforce while retaining high quality: “We voluntarily wanted to have a smaller group. Of course, if Jamal (Musiala) would be back, we would win in depth. »» This combination of individual talent and collective integration Place Olise as one of the pillars of the Bavarian team for the coming seasons. Case to follow.
