Michael Olise has explained why he chose to join Bayern Munich over the likes of Chelsea, Newcastle United and Manchester United.
The 22-year-old winger opted to leave Crystal Palace and the Premier League to join the Bundesliga giants and six-time Champions League winners under the new management of Vincent Kompany.
Last month, Bayern, Newcastle and Chelsea were granted permission to speak with Olise’s representatives last month. Chelsea had previously agreed personal terms with the player but they were once again unable to get the deal over the line as Bayern swooped to secure his signature.
Olise joins Bayern Munich in a deal worth £50million in total and has agreed a five-year deal.
With no shortage of interest in his services, Olise was asked why he chose to join Bayern over the other sides who had entered discussions.
He said: “Talks with Bayern were very positive. I am very happy to be playing for such a big club. “It’s a big challenge, exactly what I was looking for. I want to prove myself at this level and win titles”
