Olise is having an impactful campaign so far where he has already netted 13 goals and provided 12 assists in 36 games. He is averaging 2.4 shots, 1.9 key passes, and 2 dribbles per game (stats via whoscored).
The German attacker is versatile enough to play at different roles in the attacking positions. He has got a great passing and dribbling abilities apart from his extraordinary vision. He can create chances for his side as well as provide the finishing touches.
Manchester City wanted to sign Michael Olise before he moved to Bayern Munich. However, the player decided to try himself in the Bundesliga. With the English outfit returning with their interest, it remains to be seen if the attacker will entertain a move or not.
Olise’s high qualities and versatility in the final third will be well appreciated by Pep Guardiola. Moreover, the 23-year-old can be a great long-term acquisition for the team.
Olise’s current contract at Bayern Munich runs until 2029, which means Manchester City will have to offer a lucrative value on the table to convince the German side. Moreover, it will be interesting to see if the Citizens will prioritize brining a backup for Erling Haaland in the summer or not.
