5️⃣ Han-Noah Massengo - Augsburg

Loaned out last season to Auxerre and the author of a superb 2024-25 campaign with the Burgundy club, Han-Noah Massengo was bought for five million euros by Augsburg from Burnley this summer.

The 24-year-old midfielder is set to discover a new league wearing the colors of the Bavarian side. A league that has been very successful for French talents in recent years...

3️⃣ Elye Wahi - Frankfurt

Let’s stay with Frankfurt! Having joined the club last winter after a disappointing six months at OM, Elye Wahi unfortunately had an unconvincing start in the Bundesliga...

Now that the Marseille setback is finally behind him, Wahi can kick off his German adventure this 2025-26 season!

2️⃣ Dayot Upamecano - Bayern Munich

Dayot Upamecano is about to begin his fifth season with Bayern Munich.

Competing with William Saliba and Ibrahima Konaté for a spot in the French national team, the central defender will be looking to deliver strong performances to stand out ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

1️⃣ Michael Olise - Bayern Munich

With 20 goals and 23 assists in all competitions in 2024-25, Michael Olise had a stellar debut season in a Bayern Munich shirt.

Nominated for the Ballon d'Or, the playmaker for both Les Bleus and Bayern must now embrace a new status for this coming season.
