I suggest the data team check how long of a daily streak Ibou has on the Duolingo Spanish module and then we can plan accordingly

Maybe he will forget, and his next post match interview will be:
Al final, fue un partido de dos tiempos. Di el 110%, pero lo importante es que nos llevamos los tres puntos. Michael Oliver es un imbƩcil.
Although, if it is typical Duolino, all he will be able to say is:
Mi hƔmster vive en el bosque con un elefante.

I can now reveal that Michael Olise has a release clause in his contract, first valid in the summer of 2026. Max Eberl agreed to its inclusion during negotiations with the playerās representatives, convinced that without such a concession he would have no realistic chance of bringing him out of the Premier League. In doing so, he accepted a figure comfortably within reach for several English clubs, effectively ensuring that a return to England would always remain a possibility.
Inside Bayern, there is a clear expectation that Liverpool and Manchester City will be Michael Oliseās preferred destinations should he decide to leave after the World Cup, once the release clause in his contract becomes active. Both clubs are long-time admirers who have followed his progress for years and are expected to act decisively when the opportunity arises. Chelsea were also seriously interested in him in the summer he joined Bayern, but Olise rejected their approach at the time. It is still expected that they will return with interest once the clause becomes valid, although within Bayern the belief is that much will depend on Chelseaās sporting development over the next year, as Olise is thought to be unwilling to commit unless their project aligns with his ambitions.

Bayernspace was spot on with Wirtz, they do seem like someone who has issues with the club but I was shocked how spot on it was.

This is very interesting Walshy. Olise is a good player. At the time he was leaving Palace a few of us wanted us to make a move for him then, but there wasnāt really an opening, and at the time he had a few question marks over him with little injuries. His quality was never in question.
Since then he has kicked on at Bayern Munich and he just had a very good season. On our end, we will have to replace Mo Salah at some point.
I would be very happy with signing Olise in the summer of 2026 to complete our new forward line. That would give Salah a year of handover with Olise, or, it might mean Salah decides to leave a year before his two year contract is done.
Iām not inviting trouble but Iāll make a prediction, as something occurred to me after the Community Shield.
Salah had few touches on the ball. He fluffed his penalty, which can happen to anyone, but the first part is something to watch. Donāt get me wrong, he is not a playmaker in the middle of the park and never has been. But he has been more crucial to the attacking thrust than it looked at Wembley.
It is most likely early season, and we will have to find the balance and so on. But here is my thought:
Wirtz is the playmaker. He will see a lot of the ball and will be crucial to how we build our attack. On the first showing, he was starting to link up well with Ekitike. If we add Isak I expect he will find him a lot too. Iām not saying Salah wonāt be a factor, because of course he will. He remains a very good player. But I do expect something to shift this season, and rather than being preeminent in our attack, Salah will just be a component of it, albeit, an effective goalscoring component.
It would not surprise me in the slightest if Salah decides to move on next summer, and we bring Olise in as his replacement, if it is true that there is a clause.
Donāt want to make a mountain out of a molehill, but the way the attack is shaping up, I do think it is something to watch.

So part of the Diaz move was to send in a covert agent who will spend months regaling Olise of how wonderful it was playing for Liverpool.
Smart move.

Caveat is he seems to have been playing more centrally for Bayern behind Kane, which I understand is his preferred role.

Even if he likes the middle, one look at Wirtz will have him dutifully taking his place on the right.
