Oops. Michael Olise could face jail time

A storm is brewing around Michael Olise, and this story stretches far beyond the football pitch.

Details: 34-year-old German woman Fatima Zaunbrecher told Bild that Michael Olise is the father of her 20-month-old daughter. According to her, the footballer officially acknowledged paternity after a DNA test. So far, the player has not commented publicly on the matter.

Zaunbrecher claims she met Olise through social media in 2022, when the Frenchman was playing for Crystal Palace. Their long-distance relationship lasted about two years, and just two weeks after their breakup, she discovered she was pregnant.

According to her, Olise insisted on a paternity test. The procedure allegedly took place in Munich and confirmed that the footballer is indeed the father, after which he officially recognized his daughter.

However, Zaunbrecher says the player has never met the girl, and all communication between the parties happens exclusively through lawyers. She also claims she has not received any financial support. Olise’s representatives reportedly offered child support, but she considered the proposed amount unacceptably low.

Meanwhile, people close to the footballer deny that Olise refused contact with the woman or child. There has been no official statement from the player or his representatives, so Zaunbrecher’s allegations remain her version of events.

It's worth noting that in the 2025/26 season, Olise made 52 appearances for Bayern, netting 22 goals and delivering 31 assists.
