The world of football watches in amazement as the figures representing the European powers, such as the African, naturalized French Michael Olise, seem to live outside the morals and laws of the nations that shelter them. While Real Madrid and Florentino Pérez consider paying astronomical figures for the winger from Bayern Munich, valued at 170 million euros, the German justice system focuses on the irresponsibility of a player who has chosen filial abandonment over honor.
The situation is alarming: a 34-year-old German woman of Moroccan origin, Fatima Zaunbrecher, has formally reported the footballer for abandoning his daughter and systematically failing to provide child support.
Michael Olise
The relationship, which lasted almost two years after they met on Instagram in 2022 —when the player was with Crystal Palace—, ended abruptly amid suspicions of infidelity on the part of Michael Olise.
Just two weeks after the breakup, the woman discovered her pregnancy, initiating a legal ordeal that the footballer tried to evade until science rendered its verdict.
In Munich, a DNA test irrefutably confirmed that Michael Olise is the biological father of the minor, Aaliyah Noor, born in 2023 and currently 20 months old.
In light of the compelling results, a judge ordered the player to legally acknowledge the girl, but the paperwork has not guaranteed affection or support.
According to the mother's statements, the athlete has never visited the girl or maintained direct contact with her, delegating everything to his legal representatives.
The financial dispute is a true reflection of the meanness surrounding the player's environment. Fatima Zaunbrecher demands 60,000 euros in child support to ensure the well-being of the minor.

In contrast, representatives of Michael Olise initially offered the ridiculous sum of 836 euros per month, which they later raised to 2,000 euros, amounts that the mother deemed “ridiculous” given the father's financial capacity. The most serious issue is that, according to the complaint, none of these amounts have been paid to date.
The mother's indignation was captured in a heartbreaking quote for the newspaper Bild: “It tears me apart to see the cruelty with which someone can treat their own daughter. He doesn't even talk to me and simply sends his lawyers”.
This picture of familial neglect is compounded by the player's residential instability. Michael Olise has been forced to seek new housing in Germany following the decision of Jérôme Boateng, owner of his current luxury residence in Grünwald, to sell the property for 11.5 million euros.
Amid rumors placing him at Real Madrid under the orders of José Mourinho, the footballer seems more concerned about his upcoming million-dollar contract than about fulfilling his child support obligations and the emotional recognition of his own blood in the city that hosts him.
