(Picture Credit: AP) Bayern Munich star Michael Olise, who had a breakout FIFA World Cup 2026 with France, is facing a legal dispute over child support after a German woman claimed he is the father of her 20-month-old daughter. Fatima Zonbrischer, 34, told German newspaper Bild that she had been in a relationship with Olise for two years after meeting him during his time at Crystal Palace in the Premier League. She said she discovered she was pregnant two weeks after their separation. Olise played at Palace between 2021 and 2024 before signing for Munich in 2024.
A paternity test conducted in Munich later is said to have confirmed that Olise is the father of the child, Alia Nour. Zonbrischer has now accused the footballer of refusing to meet his daughter and failing to provide financial support. She claimed that Olise’s lawyers initially offered €836 (approx INR 91,000) per month before increasing the amount to €2,000 (approx INR 2,20,000). However, she alleged that she has not received any payments for two years. “It hurts me to see his cruelty towards his child," Zonbrischer told the paper. She also claimed that Olise does not speak to her directly and instead communicates through his lawyers. According to Zonbrischer, one of the lawyers involved in the case even advised her to buy second-hand clothes for their daughter. Olise’s legal team has denied her allegations. His representatives said in the report that the footballer offered financial support from the beginning and remains open to reaching an amicable agreement.
They also claimed that Zonbrischer had demanded €60,000 (approx INR 66,00,020) per month through the French courts. The dispute has emerged at a significant stage of Olise’s career. The 24-year-old enjoyed a standout 2026 FIFA World Cup with France and was the tournament’s leading assist provider. His performances have also reportedly attracted interest from Real Madrid. Reports in Spanish and French media say that the attacking midfielder is desperate to join Madrid, though any move would be complicated by his importance in the German capital.
