Munich, July 23 – Bayern Munich star Michael Olise (24) is facing an unexpected move, as he must vacate the luxury villa he has been renting in the upscale Munich suburb of Grünwald. The property, owned by former Bayern defender Jérôme Boateng (37), has had its lease terminated, according to a report by Bild. Olise, who joined Bayern in July 2024, has been living in the villa since September 2024.
Boateng to Sell Villa, Olise Must Vacate by August
Jérôme Boateng, the 2014 World Cup winner, is the owner of the villa and reportedly intends to sell it. Bild indicates that Boateng had been looking for a buyer even before Olise moved in, with an asking price of around 11.5 million Euros. Boateng had purchased the property in June 2016 for 7.4 million Euros.
Olise is expected to move out of the villa by the end of August. Sources close to the situation confirm that Real Madrid’s ongoing interest in Olise played no role in Boateng’s decision to terminate the lease. The move is purely a result of Boateng’s plans to sell the property.
Olise’s Stellar Performance at Bayern Munich
Michael Olise transferred to Bayern Munich from Crystal Palace in July 2024 for a fee of 53 million Euros. Since his arrival at the Allianz Arena, Olise has rapidly developed into a world-class player. In the past season, he made 51 appearances, scoring an impressive 22 goals and providing 27 assists, solidifying his position as a key player for the Bavarian giants.
Olise’s contract with Bayern Munich runs until 2029. Despite recent rumors linking him with a move to Real Madrid, Bayern President Herbert Hainer (72) recently reiterated that a sale of the French international is not currently being considered. It is anticipated that Olise will find new accommodation in Munich or the surrounding area in due course.
Impact on Olise and Bayern Munich
While the eviction from his current residence may cause some short-term inconvenience for Olise, it is unlikely to significantly impact his performance on the field. The club is expected to support him in finding new living arrangements, ensuring he remains focused on his footballing career.
The incident highlights the transient nature of professional football, where players often move between cities and homes as their careers progress. For Olise, this is another chapter in his burgeoning career, and he will undoubtedly adapt to his new living situation as quickly as he has adapted to life in the Bundesliga.
Real Estate Market in Grünwald
Grünwald is one of Munich’s most exclusive residential areas, known for its luxurious properties and high-profile residents, including many footballers and celebrities. The reported sale price of Boateng’s villa underscores the premium nature of the real estate market in this affluent suburb.
The former national player’s decision to sell the property, which he acquired eight years ago, indicates a significant return on investment, reflecting the appreciating value of prime real estate in the Munich region.
As Olise searches for a new residence, he will likely be looking for a property that meets the high standards expected of a top-tier professional athlete, ensuring he has a comfortable and private environment to continue his successful career at Bayern Munich.
