Michael Olise has been crowned FC Bayern Munich’s Player of the Season for 2025/26 following a remarkable campaign that saw him directly contribute to 53 goals across all competitions. The France international captured 51.4% of the supporter vote, securing a decisive victory over his teammates.
The 24-year-old winger finished comfortably ahead of striker Harry Kane, who received 32% of the ballots. Luis Díaz claimed third place with 4% of the vote, completing the podium.
Olise’s statistics underline his dominance throughout the season. He made 52 appearances, scoring 22 goals and providing 31 assists. These figures represent one of the most productive individual seasons in recent Bundesliga history and demonstrate his evolution into a complete attacking threat.
The recognition extends beyond the club level. Olise was also named the 2025/26 Bundesliga Player of the Season, marking a clean sweep of domestic individual honours. This dual success confirms his status as one of Europe’s most influential creative players and validates Bayern’s decision to secure his services.
Currently, the forward is representing France at the World Cup. His exceptional domestic form will have heightened expectations for his performances on the international stage, where he aims to translate his club success to the global tournament.
The award highlights Olise’s rapid integration into Bayern’s squad. To displace a prolific scorer like Kane in a popularity poll—where the England international finished a distant second—demonstrates the depth of connection the Frenchman has established with the Allianz Arena faithful. His creative output proved crucial to Bayern’s attacking rhythm throughout the campaign.
While the club has yet to confirm the season’s collective honours, Olise’s personal achievements suggest a highly successful year for the individual. The combination of individual accolades and tangible end product positions him as a central figure in the club’s long-term strategy.
Bayern supporters will hope he can maintain this standard upon returning from international duty. At 24, Olise appears to be entering his prime years, with this award potentially marking the beginning of a sustained period of excellence in Bavaria.
