"Arsenal have quietly placed Michael Olise at the very top of their long-term attacking wish list, with sources confirming the club are laying the groundwork for a blockbuster £100 million-plus move in the summer of 2026. Bayern have zero intention of entertaining January approaches, even if Arsenal's need for creativity is laid bare by Bukayo Saka's recent injuries and Gabriel Martinelli's inconsistent form."
"The former Reading academy star turned down Chelsea in 2024 partly because he wanted guaranteed minutes; Bayern delivered Champions League football and a platform that has seen him terrorise defences with trademark cuts inside and venomous left-foot strikes. Sources close to the player insist he is "happy and settled" in Bavaria but would listen seriously to Arsenal if a concrete path opened in 18 months' time."
Arsenal has identified Michael Olise as a top long-term attacking target and is preparing for a potential £100 million-plus move in summer 2026. Bayern Munich have no intention of entertaining January approaches and appear keen to tie Olise to a longer contract. Olise turned down Chelsea in 2024 for guaranteed minutes and chose Bayern for Champions League football, where he has excelled with inside cuts and powerful left-foot strikes. Sources say he is happy and settled in Bavaria but would consider Arsenal if a concrete pathway emerges in 18 months. Multiple clubs reportedly admire the right-winger.
