Exceptional professional Michael Olise: Bayern star voluntarily gives up a lot of money | OneFootball

Michael Olise is making headlines at FC Bayern not only on the pitch, but also off it. It has now been revealed that the FCB star is deliberately foregoing lucrative sponsorship deals

The Frenchman is currently one of the most spectacular attacking players in Europe and recently confirmed his outstanding form in the 2:1 away win against Real Madrid. The 24-year-old delighted fans, experts and international media alike with a strong performance at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu

But while many top stars attract attention primarily through big advertising deals and lucrative sponsorship contracts, Olise is taking a completely different approach. As the French newspaper L’Équipe reports, the Bayern star is deliberately foregoing a supplier contract – an almost unique approach in today’s soccer world

Olise deliberately forgoes deals worth millions

Although Olise wears shoes from US manufacturer Nike on the pitch, there is no contractual obligation. According to L’É quipe, this is a very conscious decision on the part of the player. A source close to him explained: „He doesn’t have one, he’s not interested at all.“

This attitude is remarkable, especially in view of the enormous financial possibilities. Players at Olise’s level regularly earn millions with sponsorship contracts. For comparison: Kylian Mbappé has been under contract with Nike for years and is reported to earn around 15 million euros a year. According to BILD, Jamal Musiala also earns six million euros a year through his supplier deal with Nike

Olise, on the other hand, is voluntarily foregoing this income – proving once again that he is not following the classic path of a modern soccer star

His approach seems to be paying off. Since moving from Crystal Palace to FC Bayern in the summer of 2024, Olise has developed rapidly and is now one of the best wingers in the world. His creativity, his unpredictability in one-on-one situations and his game intelligence make him a central component in Vincent Kompany’s system

His performance against Real Madrid was just another example of his exceptional quality. Olise was almost unstoppable, set up Harry Kane’s 2-0 goal and repeatedly created danger with his actions

FC Bayern appreciate the Frenchman’s special character: while other players market their brand, Olise concentrates almost exclusively on the sport

This combination of sporting excellence and individual attitude makes him one of the most exciting personalities in European soccer. And it shows that Olise is not only an exceptional player on the pitch – but also off it.
