Michael Olisé Breaks Into Ballon D’or Conversations With His Performances for Bayern Munich

The forward, part of Bayern Munich's attacking trident, is gaining more and more stature and respect across the entire continent.

A possible candidate for the Ballon d'Or

Michael Olise is fully entering the conversation for a possible place in the race for the Ballon d'Or. The French forward has stood out with Bayern Munich in various domestic and European competitions and is a fundamental part of an attacking trident that Kompany has managed to form alongside Luis Díaz and Harry Kane

Dazzles his footballers and team

Former footballers like Sami Khedira have described him as "the best winger in the world at the moment" in a comment he made to the media outlet Bild, and he also receives support from the club, such as Jan-Christian Dressen, who sees a very bright future for the player and even as a potential contender for the highest individual award a footballer can achieve.

His performance and numbers

His performance is atrocious, with 44 direct contributions to his team's goals this season, 16 of them being goals and 28 assists, all in just 40 matches, rubbing shoulders with the elite of forwards at a global level currently. In the Champions League, he is the top assister, sharing the first place with the Madridista Vinicius.

The definitive leap for his career came in 2024 when Bayern Munich paid around 64 million dollars for his transfer, making him one of the most feared attacking figures by European and German defenses. With his solid 25 years, we could see a struggle on his part to establish himself as a winner or candidate for the Ballon d'Or.
