Bayern Munich are reportedly preparing to offer Michael Olise a new long-term contract, aiming to fend off growing interest from Premier League giants and La Liga heavyweights. The French winger, who joined Bayern from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2024, has been one of the Bundesliga’s standout performers since his arrival.
⚡ Olise’s Meteoric Rise
Olise’s debut season at Bayern was nothing short of spectacular:
25 goals and 29 assists across all competitions
Named Bundesliga Player of the Year
Helped Bayern reach the Champions League semi-finals
He’s started the 2025–26 campaign in similar fashion, already notching 4 goals and 4 assists in just 9 appearances.
📝 Contract Talks Underway
According to and , Bayern are keen to extend Olise’s current deal—which runs until 2029—with improved terms and a higher release clause. The club is reportedly “surprised” that more English clubs didn’t push harder for him last summer, and they now want to lock him down before interest intensifies.
There is no release clause in Olise’s current contract, giving Bayern full control over his future.
🔁 Premier League & La Liga Interest
Despite Bayern’s firm stance, clubs like Liverpool, Manchester City, and Real Madrid are monitoring the situation closely. Olise’s market value has reportedly climbed beyond €115 million, and his versatility—being able to play as a winger, attacking midfielder, or false nine—makes him a highly attractive target.
🧠 Bayern’s Strategy
Bayern’s sporting director Max Eberl is said to be leading the extension talks. The club wants to reward Olise’s performances while preemptively deterring suitors. They’re confident he’ll stay in Munich long-term but aren’t taking any chances.
“Olise is not for sale,” said a source close to the club. “We’re relaxed, but we’re also proactive.”
🔮 What’s Next?
Expect formal negotiations to begin before the winter break. If Olise continues his form, Bayern may push to finalize the extension before the January transfer window opens.
