Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund has stated there is no pressure on winger Michael Olise, according to a report from SB Nation. The comment comes as the French attacker continues his adaptation to the Bundesliga following his summer move from Crystal Palace.

Freund's remarks aim to calm external expectations around the 22-year-old, who joined the German champions for a reported fee in excess of €50 million. Olise has shown flashes of his creative quality but has also missed time through injury since arriving in Munich.

The club's hierarchy appears keen to manage the narrative around the young playmaker, emphasizing patience as he settles into a new league and tactical system under head coach Vincent Kompany.
