Crystal Palace faces potential departure of Michael Olise to Bayern Munich
Recent reports suggest Michael Olise may be leaving Crystal Palace for Bayern Munich this summer. While the transfer has not been officially confirmed, it has been a week since initial rumors surfaced.
Teammate Eberechi Eze comments on potential move
Eberechi Eze, Olise’s fellow Palace player, recently spoke about the possible transfer:
“He is an incredible player. I’ve enjoyed playing with him for two or three seasons now,” Eze told talkSPORT. “He’s a top player with top talent and mentality. He has everything it takes to play at the highest level.”
Eze added, “Whether he’s going there or not, I don’t know yet, but he’s certainly an incredible player with what it takes.”
Potential replacements for Olise
If Olise departs, Palace may consider several options to fill the void:
- Matias Soule (Juventus) – Talented but potentially expensive, a loan deal could be considered.
- Antonio Nusa (Club Brugge) – Viewed as the best option, potentially available for around £25 million.
Austria’s Euro 2024 performance sparks interest
Austria’s strong showing in Euro 2024 has drawn attention to some of their players. Given manager Oliver Glasner’s Austrian background, there’s speculation about potential targets:
- Matthias Seidl – Previously linked with Palace, but the move might be premature.
- Nicolas Seiwald – At 23, could bolster Palace’s midfield.
- Gernot Trauner – Highly regarded center-back.
- Alexander Prass – Left-sided player known for his dynamism.
These potential moves remain speculative, and Palace will need to carefully consider their options as they prepare for the possibility of Olise’s departure.
