Michael Olise has become one of the most sought-after wingers in world football, with every elite club vying for his signature. According to former Chelsea assistant manager Jody Morris, the French international has found the perfect environment in Munich and sees little reason to leave Bayern Munich anytime soon.
Despite inevitable transfer speculation, Morris believes Olise has suited the continental style of play in the Bundesliga. "When you get to that level, there's no rush to come back for Michael Olise unless he wants to return home," Morris told BOYLE Sports. "He is suited to the continental style of play."
Morris also poured cold water on any suggestion that Chelsea could realistically lure Olise back to England. "Chelsea would need to make unbelievable strides to even be in the conversation for a player like Michael Olise," Morris said. "We tried to get him from Palace before, and not getting him is what led us to signing Cole Palmer."
Morris's comments reflect just how highly Olise is regarded after his breakout campaign with Bayern Munich. His blend of creativity, vision, close control, and end product makes him one of the rare players capable of deciding matches with a single moment of brilliance.
Under Vincent Kompany, Olise has flourished into the centerpiece of Bayern Munich's attack while continuing to improve every aspect of his game. Morris believes Olise has a great balance of being great to watch with flair, but he doesn't shirk his production in the final third.
Whether or not comparisons to Lionel Messi or Eden Hazard prove fair over the long term, one thing is becoming increasingly difficult to dispute: Michael Olise has established himself as one of the most complete and captivating attackers in world football. Bayern Munich will undoubtedly do everything possible to keep him at the heart of the club's future.
With Olise set to be a key figure in Bayern Munich's future, the German club will be looking to tie him down to a new contract to stave off interest from other elite clubs. The French international has already produced in the Premier League and can have his pick of where to go, but Morris believes Olise will be disappointed to have missed chances in the tournament.
