According to a report from Sport Bild journalist Christian Falk, Liverpool and Manchester City might have to give up on attempting a move for Bayern Munich star Michael Olise:
It is TRUE: Liverpool and
Manchester City have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Michael Olise. We already heard that the French international doesn’t have a release clause in his contract (as was the case at Crystal Palace before). But, of course, no one could be 100% sure on the matter. Now, head of sport, Max Eberl, has officially confirmed that there is no release clause, and this was a clear sign to the Premier League to say, “You’ve got no chance of getting this player.” They now want to give him a new contract, and I can tell you that Olise is really, really into the team.
Michael Olise isn’t a man who’s talking a lot, but what I can say is that he’s always talking to his teammates on WhatsApp when he’s at home on the couch. Players have told us he’s constantly dropping WhatsApp bombs and saying, “Hey, how are you? Are you feeling well? You trained great today!” So, he’s quiet when it comes to the media, but he’s a big WhatsApp leader in the group.
It has become clear, Bayern Munich will do everything in its power to keep Olise. The only way he leaves the club early is if he really wants out — and even then it might not be easy for him to get what he wants.
Bayern Munich is steamrolling into the week and is scorching hot.
Hotter than hot.
Blazing hot.
However you want to put it, the Bavarians are riding high and playing better than they have at point since 2020. This has truly been a fun ride to watch, but it is far from over. In the midst of all of that, we have a ton of news going on and a lot of it (hell, all of it) is positive at this stage.
