After a sensational debut campaign at Bayern Munich in which he tallied 43 goal contributions, Michael Olise has shown he is not just a breakout prospect in his second season. Five goals and six assists this season cemented him as one of the best left wingers on the planet.
Credible market value rating website Transfermarkt has recognised his talent and productivity and given him a massive rise in the latest update. Michael Olise's current value, estimated by the German football portal, now falls around €130 million, a 30% increase from his previous valuation. This is a well-deserved rise after an impressive run of form.
Only Jamal Musiala has a higher market value than "The Nonchalant Baller" at the Allianz Arena, by €10 million. Both are exceptional players with phenomenal quality and are truly Bayern's biggest hopes for the future.
On a global scale, the 23-year-old has entered the top 10 list of the most valuable footballers according to Transfermarkt.
Apart from Michael Olise, many other Bayern players also saw a massive jump in value. The pride of Bayern's academy, Lennart Karl, is now valued at €20 million, a tremendous increase from his previous €1.5 million. At 17, he is the diamond in the rough that Die Roten would love to keep long term.
Olise's compatriot Dayot Upamecano also got a little €10 million boost after playing a big role for both Bayern and the French national team. Upamecano is now the 10th most valuable centre-back in the world, which is arguably underrated for someone with his talent and calibre of play.
On the flipside, Bayern's Asian defender duo both sank a bit in value. Hiroki Ito's foot injury, which caused him to miss the last six months, was detrimental to his evaluation. Meanwhile, Kim Min-jae has fallen out of the pecking order in Vincent Kompany's system, despite having consistently great performances this season. The South Korean star is only the backup option for Jonathan Tah and Dayot Upamecano, which may be the reason for the decrease.
Despite playing well in the opening stage of the season, Konrad Laimer and Serge Gnabry were both snubbed of any value increase. They remain at €25 million and €22 million, respectively.
