Michael Olise has been named in France s senior squad for the first time by Didier Deschamps for their upcoming Nations League fixtures next month.
Olise, who represented France at the Paris Olympics, is one of two players making the step up alongside Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Manu Kone.
The 22-year-old impressed at the Games, helping Thierry Henry s side reach their first showpiece final in the competition since 1984, scoring twice and registering five assists.
Olise secured a reported £50.8million move to Bayern Munich prior to the Olympics after notching 16 goal involvements (10 goals and six assists) for Crystal Palace in the 2023-24 campaign.
Michael did great things with Thierry Henry s Olympic team and he has moved up into a new category with his transfer to Bayern Munich, Deschamps told reporters.
It is quite logical that he should now come with us. He still has progress to make but potentially he has a lot of quality.
There is also a return to the squad for Chelsea s Wesley Fofana, while Kylian Mbappe will feature on the international stage for the first time since his move to Real Madrid.
From their Euro 2024 squad, three players have been left out, including Olise s Bayern team-mate Kingsley Coman, as well as Benjamin Pavard and Adrien Rabiot.
