According to a report from Sport Bild journalists Christian Falk and Tobi Altschäffl (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), the final steps for Bayern Munich’s acquisition of Crystal Palace attacker Michael Olise are expected to be completed today.
That does not mean an announcement is imminent, just that the club will have its final proposal readied for both Olise and Crystal Palace:
The final green light from the supervisory board for the Michael Olise deal is expected today. Then the transfer will be completed. Bayern have been scouting Olise for years, since he was playing at Reading.
Falk added more context on final financial details his own X account:
According to our Information, the supervisory board of FC Bayern will approve the transfer of Michael Olise (22) today ✅

The arrival of Olise is expected to end the longstanding tenure of Kingsley Coman at Bayern Munich per the Sport Bild duo as well:
Michael Olise’s transfer is likely to mean the end of Kingsley Coman’s time at Bayern. Coman is looking for a new challenge this summer – and Bayern are open to selling him. PSG are interested, but so far there has only been contact with the player, not yet between clubs.
Per Sky Sport journalist Kerry Hau (as captured by @iMiaSanMia), Coman is expected to leave the club, but Serge Gnabry would like to stay and fight for a spot under new coach Vincent Kompany:
While Kingsley Coman is considering leaving Bayern, Serge Gnabry wants to stay and convince Vincent Kompany. Gnabry is not speaking to other clubs.
Now, it appears that Olise’s move is just a formality — and apparently a long time coming.
