Rummenigge backs Olise in maturity comparison with Yamal

Published on: 26 September 2026

Bayern Munich supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has compared Michael Olise with Barcelona forward Lamine Yamal, saying the Bayern winger is currently playing with greater maturity.

The assessment comes as Olise, a 24-year-old French wide player, continues an impressive run of form. He has scored eight goals and provided four assists in seven matches this season.

Rummenigge also addressed criticism of Olise over the player's reluctance to speak to journalists.

Olise joined Bayern Munich and has been compared with Yamal, one of Barcelona's key attacking players. Rummenigge's view is that Olise is presently showing a more mature level of performance than the Spain international.
