Fresh controversy has emerged around Bayern Munich and France forward Michael Olise after his former partner accused him of neglecting their 20-month-old daughter.
The allegations surfaced just weeks after the footballer’s impressive performances for France at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
According to German newspaper Bild, Olise’s former girlfriend, Fatima Zaunbrecher, claimed the football star has never met their daughter despite legally acknowledging paternity. Moreover, she alleged that communication between them now takes place only through lawyers.
However, Olise’s representatives have strongly challenged several of the claims, insisting that negotiations over child support are still unresolved.
Zaunbrecher said she met Olise in London in 2022 while he was playing for Crystal Palace.
She explained that the pair were in a relationship for about two years.
According to her, they separated before she discovered she was pregnant. She said the pregnancy became known about two weeks after their breakup.
Furthermore, she disclosed that a DNA test later confirmed Olise as the child’s father.
She added that the footballer officially acknowledged their daughter, Aaliyah Noor.
However, Zaunbrecher claimed the Bayern Munich winger has never met the child.
She expressed disappointment over the situation.
“It devastates me how unfeeling someone can be toward their own child,” she said.
In addition, she alleged that Olise’s legal representatives offered what she considered an unfair child support arrangement.
According to her, one lawyer advised her to reduce expenses by buying second-hand clothes for the child.
She described the suggestion as insensitive.
“He doesn’t speak to me either and simply sends his lawyers in his place,” Zaunbrecher said.
“Another of his lawyers wrote to me suggesting I should buy second-hand clothes for the little girl.”
Reports also indicated that Olise’s representatives proposed a monthly child support payment of €2,000.
However, Zaunbrecher alleged that the agreed payments have not been made. Meanwhile, Olise’s legal team has disputed her version of events.
According to reports, his representatives claimed Zaunbrecher previously sought €60,000 per month in financial support through a French court.
They alleged that the request was unsuccessful.
Furthermore, they maintained that Olise remains willing to support his daughter.
However, they insisted both parties have not yet reached a final agreement on financial arrangements.
Neither Michael Olise nor Bayern Munich has publicly addressed the allegations.
Consequently, no official statement has been released by the player regarding the claims.
The allegations remain unverified and have not been independently confirmed.
For now, the matter remains a private legal dispute, with both sides presenting different accounts of the events while no court ruling has been publicly reported.
