Michael Olise is set for a medical at Bayern Munich today ahead of his move from Crystal Palace, according to a report.

The forward has snubbed Premier League interest in order to join the German side, which will see him link up with Harry Kane and be managed by former Burnley boss Vincent Kompany.

Bayern and Palace have been in negotiations over the player's release clause and the France U21 international has been away with his country ahead of his move away from England.

Olise, 22, also had strong interest from Newcastle United and Chelsea, though the latter made it known that they were no longer in the race for the winger's signature.

He will now move a step closer to securing the move as he, according to Sky Sports, undergoes his medical ahead of one of the most highly-anticipated moves of the summer transfer window.

Palace had been willing to offer Olise a new deal to stay but the lure of Champions League football proved too much to contend with.

Manchester United have admired him but have not been in the financial position to pursue the star.

Bayern want to return as the dominant force in German football after being toppled by Xavi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen last season.

Olise joined Palace from Reading in 2021, stepping up from the Championship to the Premier League.

In his three years at Palace he has become a fan favourite and one of their star attacking talents alongside England's Eberechi Eze and was key to their upturn in form in 2024.

The winger scored 10 goals last season, the best haul of his career, and recorded six assists as Oliver Glasner took over as manager from Roy Hodgson.

He signed a new contract last August on a bumper £100,000 per week after rejecting Chelsea's approaches, with the Blues thinking they had secured his services after activating his then-release clause.

However, with the youngster the subject of ferocious interest from top Premier League sides and European giants, it was always going to be difficult to hang on to him this summer.

His new release clause is thought to be in the region of £60million, with Bayern ready to make him one of their first signings of the summer.

The move will be a coup for Vincent Kompany, who agreed to succeed Thomas Tuchel at the Allianz Arena last month after the German was sacked at the stard of the year.

It is a setback, though not unexpected, for the fledgling Glasner administration in south London ahead of the new Premier League season.
