Valued at €130 million
Michael Olise has experienced a remarkable rise over the past few years, evolving into a truly elite winger at Bayern Munich. The top German club made a €53 million investment to bring Olise from Crystal Palace in 2024, a decision that has clearly paid off.
This talented winger showcased immense potential while developing through the ranks at prestigious English academies such as Manchester City and Chelsea. However, it was at Reading and Crystal Palace where Olise truly established his reputation before earning his place at one of the world’s leading clubs. At just 23 years old, he has become a full French international and has thrived under the guidance of Vincent Kompany, adding essential maturity to his play and positioning himself as one of the most valuable players globally.
Michael Olise’s Market Value Growth
Following the latest update on Bundesliga player values, Olise received a €30 million increase, reflecting his impressive start to the season. His valuation has now reached €130 million, making him the second most valuable player in Germany, just behind Bayern teammate Jamal Musiala. Furthermore, he is now ranked as the 10th most valuable player worldwide, as illustrated in the graphic below.
When Olise transferred to Bayern, his market value stood at €55 million, but it has since surged by an astonishing €75 million since his arrival in Germany. Within this calendar year alone, his value has climbed by an impressive €65 million, with no player seeing a more significant increase in 2025. Olise’s current valuation starkly contrasts with his initial market value of €100,000 at Reading in 2019. The graphic below clearly shows a gradual rise during his career in England, with a notable surge following his move to Bayern, underscoring his immense potential.
Michael Olise’s Brilliance at Bayern Munich
Some may question the extent of Olise’s market value increase since joining Bayern, but his statistics speak for themselves. In 65 appearances for the Bavarian club, the winger has scored 25 goals and provided 29 assists. His performances continue to improve, averaging 1.22 goal contributions per 90 minutes this season.
While it can be easier for attacking players to achieve impressive numbers in the Bundesliga compared to the Premier League, Olise is also excelling in the Champions League, contributing to 11 goals in 16 matches. Following a standout performance against Chelsea, Kompany praised the winger, stating, “Michael Olise is turning into a superstar. You can coach and help many players in training, but Michael just has that special talent. He is a joy to watch.”
Olise has been nothing short of a revelation at Bayern, significantly increasing his attacking output compared to his time at Crystal Palace. While at the Eagles, he recorded 16 goals and 25 assists across 90 appearances, averaging 0.64 goal contributions per 90 minutes. At Bayern, his productivity has soared, averaging 1.05 goal involvements per 90 minutes, fulfilling his extraordinary potential to rank among the world’s top wingers.
