According to reports, Bayern Munich’s sporting director Max Eberl emphasized that Michel Olise’s impact has been somewhat overlooked in transfer discussions. Bayern is just two wins away from securing their 34th Bundesliga title, and there is little doubt they will achieve it in the remaining four matches.

Three days after Bayern’s bitter exit from the Champions League quarter-finals, the team delivered a focused and energetic performance against Heidenheim, showcasing their passion for the game.

With Bayern comfortably leading the Bundesliga, discussions have shifted from current sporting matters to one key topic: What will Bayern’s squad look like in the future? What changes are needed this summer to meet the club’s high expectations in all competitions?

Eberl praised Olise for his outstanding season

Eberl made it clear that the priority is to get the current players back to full fitness. He stressed that stars like Jamal Musiala, Alphonso Davies, or Dayot Upamecano are not easily replaceable.

After the 4-0 win over Heidenheim, Eberl reiterated his stance: “When these players are fully fit again, we will have a team strong enough for the future.”

However, Eberl did not rule out targeted changes and pointed to Olise as the perfect example: “We showed the right way to strengthen the team with Olise. It’s been somewhat overlooked that he is having an exceptional season.”

Olise’s performances have been impossible to ignore, with his displays on the pitch standing out, and his statistics speak for themselves.

The Assist King: Olise surpasses Wirtz and Grifo

Eberl seemingly needed to highlight the winger’s impact on Bayern’s play to show that the €53 million spent on Olise has proven its worth.

Perhaps the highest praise for a player is when their performances become so consistent and dominant that they are no longer seen as extraordinary. Against Heidenheim, Olise laid the foundation for the first goal with a signature move.

With his 11th assist of the Bundesliga season, Olise now leads the assist charts outright, ahead of Florian Wirtz and Vincenzo Grifo, who have ten each. He has also scored eight goals himself.
