Kompany extends stay – does Olise’s post hint at Bayern’s next big move? | OneFootball

Quite out of nowhere, the news broke on Tuesday evening: FC Bayern has prematurely extended the contract with head coach Vincent Kompany until 2029. While fans and media were still astonished, the club sparked new speculation just a day later with a mysterious social media post.

According to Sport BILD, the talks between the Belgian and the Bayern bosses lasted only a week before both sides agreed on a new four-year contract. Kompany himself is said to have insisted on a swift conclusion—without the usual media frenzy that has become tradition in Munich when it comes to major personnel decisions.

The 39-year-old enjoys the highest level of trust after his dream start as Bayern coach. With his clear game plan, calm demeanor, and tactical consistency, he has stabilized the team and led them back onto the road to success. The club has now honored this development with a long-term contract—sending a strong signal for continuity and trust.

Bayern’s Olise Post Sparks Speculation

Hardly had the ink dried on Kompany’s contract when FC Bayern themselves triggered the next wave of speculation. On the platform X (formerly Twitter), the Munich club posted a photo on Wednesday of Michael Olise, in which the French attacking player demonstratively holds the Bayern logo up to the camera—accompanied by a cold-face emoji.

The post immediately made waves: “Has Olise already extended his contract?” asked one user. Another commented: “That really looks like a contract extension.” The consensus among the comments was clear—many fans sensed Bayern’s next big coup.

Bayern Planning Talks—Maybe Sooner Than Expected

The speculation isn’t entirely unfounded. According to consistent media reports, those in charge at Säbener Straße are indeed considering an early contract extension with Michael Olise.

The 23-year-old, who moved from Crystal Palace to Munich in the summer of 2024, is already under contract with FC Bayern until 2029. According to sporting director Max Eberl, Olise also does not have a release clause—yet the record champions want to send an early signal.

Olise is considered one of the shooting stars of European football and has long since attracted the interest of top international clubs. To set the course for the long term, Bayern is planning, according to Sport BILD, to approach the player’s side by spring 2026 at the latest. Internally, however, it is by no means ruled out that talks could begin even earlier—especially after the quiet but strategically clever approach taken with Kompany.
