The Premier League is no longer the inevitable destination for the best English talent, despite its standing as the most competitive and financially powerful competition in the world of football. Behind the spotlight, the millions and the fierce competition, a striking trend is taking shape that is driving a growing number of England's stars to take on experiences beyond their country's borders, in search of different challenges, and perhaps of a recognition they did not find in sufficient measure within the Premier League.
French star Michael Olise, the Bayern Munich winger, has become one of the most prominent names tipped to ignite the transfer market in the coming period, amid growing interest in securing his services, with the German club holding firmly onto its young star and setting a huge fee to let him go, one that could make him the most expensive deal in football history.
The likelihood of German defender Jonathan Tah, the Bayern Munich player, joining Barcelona during the upcoming winter transfer window has receded, despite the Catalan club's interest in signing him, as the sporting management searches for a defender who possesses experience and the ability to provide an immediate boost to the team.
