FC Bayern are marching through the Bundesliga, and their dominance is currently overwhelming. However, according to Lothar Matthäus, it is precisely this superiority that could also become a danger in the medium term – especially with regard to the future of Michael Olise

The record international warns FC Bayern not to underestimate a possible move of the French international to the Premier League. „The appeal of an open title fight can be tempting. The challenge in the league is different to that in Germany, as there are three or four teams playing for the title in an open competition,“ Matthäus is quoted as saying by Sport BILD

Matthäus thus makes it clear that the sporting tension in England can be a decisive factor for top players – especially when the national championship is almost routine. For an ambitious professional like Olise, such a thought could certainly gain in importance

At the same time, Matthäus also emphasizes that the attacking player currently finds ideal conditions at FC Bayern. The record champions are currently „a feel-good oasis“ for Olise, where he is held in the highest esteem both athletically and personally. „The team works, his scoring figures are outstanding. At Bayern, you know what you have. But that doesn’t mean he’ll stay his whole career,“ Matthäus explained

In fact, Olise is currently enjoying the best phase of his career to date. In 29 competitive matches, the Frenchman has already scored 14 goals and provided 21 assists – figures that make him one of the most influential players of the current season. His influence on Bayern’s game is enormous, his development rapid

In view of these performances, Matthäus goes one step further. The 63-year-old can imagine that Olise could take on a very special role in the future. He recently even mentioned the attacking player as a potential world footballer in an FC Bayern shirt.
