The transfer mill is churning once again, with Manchester City believed to be lining up a move for Michael Olise, the forward from Bayern Munich. Sources close to the club suggest they are exploring options to reinforce their squad ahead of the run-in. Chelsea, Real Madrid and Liverpool remain in the background, but for now, Manchester City are leading the way in ongoing talks. Manchester City have been strong going forward this season, with 15 goals scored in 7 games (2.14 per game). Michael Olise would give them depth and keep that attacking firepower going all season. Bayern Munich have also been linked with Gabriel Martinelli and Ibrahima Konate while Manchester City are reportedly monitoring Jules Kounde, Warren Zaire-Emery and Nathaniel Brown.
