AliousWhile Michael Olise’s move to Bayern Munich seemed certain, recent reports suggest ongoing negotiations as Crystal Palace holds firm on their demands.
A week has passed since initial reports of Olise joining Bayern Munich surfaced.
Since then, speculation has mainly focused on potential replacements for the player.
Ebere Eze, when asked about the transfer, expressed confidence in Olise’s ability to excel if the move materializes, citing his exceptional talent.
However, new information has emerged that casts some uncertainty on Olise’s departure from Crystal Palace.
According to Alan Nixon’s Patreon report, Crystal Palace is unwavering in their asking price for Olise.
The club is reportedly demanding £50 million, a figure that has surprised Bayern Munich.
The Bundesliga club initially believed £43 million would initiate talks, only to discover the price had increased to £50 million for the actual transfer.
Olise has yet to undergo a medical examination, and Palace appears content to wait for their full valuation, feeling no pressure to sell at a reduced price.
While it’s unlikely the deal will collapse given the relatively small £7 million difference, Palace’s stance sets a precedent for potential future transfers of players like Eze or Marc Guehi.
Despite the likelihood of the deal being completed, Palace’s firm negotiation stance, led by Steve Parish, is commendable.
However, even at £50 million, Olise’s transfer fee seems undervalued given his potential.
The article then shifts focus to Euro 2024, discussing England’s performance and Crystal Palace players’ involvement in the national team, including Marc Guehi’s suggestion that Tyrick Mitchell should have been included in the squad to address England’s left-back issues.
