HITC sources confirm that Michael Olise has decided where he wants to be playing his football next season, and it is not Crystal Palace.

Chelsea, Newcastle and Bayern Munich made official approaches to Palace earlier this month, whilst The Eagles also engaged in talks over a possible new deal.

Manchester United were also keeping tabs on the situation after following Olise closely in recent months whilst Arsenal, Manchester City and Liverpool were also being kept informed by the player’s representatives.

However, the situation has now taken a huge twist with Olise confirming his preferred option.

Michael Olise ready to leave Premier League and join Bayern Munich

HITC can confirm that Olise has agreed to join Bayern Munich following talks with the player and his representatives.

Olise has been won over by the project at the Allianz Arena under new head coach Vincent Kompany, but the move is far from complete.

Terms are agreed in principle with Olise, but now Bayern need to agree a deal with Palace – who have previously insisted that they want the player’s release clause, which HITC is told is in excess of £60million, met in full.

During their talks Chelsea were confident that a deal could be agreed with Palace without the need to activate the clause and Bayern are now in talks.

Bayern sources indicate they are confident of striking a deal with Palace as they hope to pull of a major transfer coup by landing one of the Premier League’s most sought after young attackers.

Bayern also trying to finalise the signing of Fulham’s Joao Palhinha

Bayern are currently very busy in England, as talks also continue over a deal with Fulham for Joao Palhinha.

HITC revealed earlier this week that Bayern are confident of securing a deal for Palhinha, despite the fact their second bid for the Portuguese international was rejected.

Like with Olise, Bayern have an agreement in principle agreed with the player – but as yet terms with the club are not yet finalised.
