Crystal Palace winger Michael Olise has made a decision on his future and will turn down interest from the biggest clubs in Europe to move to the Bundesliga.
The 22-year-old winger has a release clause in the region of £50m, with Chelsea and Bayern Munich both contacting Palace to confirm their intention of triggering the clause.
Olise was close to joining Chelsea last year, but opted to extend his contract at Crystal Palace and continue his development at Selhurst Park for another campaign.
The Frenchman has turned down Chelsea once again 12 months later, informing both the Blues and his parent club Palace of his intention to join Vincent Kompany’s Bayern Munich.
Bayern have begun negotiations and will complete the deal for Olise shortly, barring any surprises in the process.
