The Athletic claim Bayern are now expected to agree a deal with Crystal Palace.
Vincent Kompany‘s side contacted the Eagles last week to discuss the possibility of signing Olise.
Chelsea also asked for permission to speak to the Frenchman, but decided against pursuing a deal due to the finances involved.
According to Nathan Gissing, Olise wanted to be the highest-paid player at Stamford Bridge – meaning he likely demanded over £325,000-a-week.
Man Utd, Manchester City and Newcastle were also interested in signing the Crystal Palace man.
Olise scored 10 goals and provided six assists in 19 appearances last season.
He rejected interest from Chelsea last summer to pen a new four-year deal with Palace.
The contract includes a £60million release clause.
