Top clubs queue up: Bayern aim to extend Olise’s contract early | OneFootball

FC Bayern wants to put an end to the ongoing transfer rumors surrounding Michael Olise. According to a report from England, the Munich club plans to extend the winger's contract early – including a significant salary increase.

Olise has been under contract with the German record champions since the summer of 2024. He transferred from Crystal Palace to the Isar for nearly 55 million euros and has since developed into an absolute key player. With 20 goals and 23 assists in his debut season, the Frenchman played a key role in winning the German championship and continues to build on these performances in the new season with four goals in the first four matches.

Bayern responds to growing competition

As reported by the portal TBR Football, FC Bayern intends to initiate talks with Olise's camp in the coming months to start an early contract extension. His current contract runs until 2029, but they want to establish facts at Säbener Straße.

Background: The list of suitors for the 23-year-old is getting longer. FC Liverpool, in particular, is considered a strong candidate. The Reds are looking for a long-term successor to Mohamed Salah and have already set their sights on Olise. FC Chelsea, Paris Saint-Germain, and FC Barcelona are also closely monitoring the offensive player's development.

To stifle any potential courting from international top clubs early on, Bayern reportedly wants to offer their wing star a significantly improved salary.

“Olise reaches another level”

TBR Football expert Graeme Bailey emphasized the importance of the Frenchman: “Olise is currently reaching another level. Since his move to Bayern Munich, he has made a huge leap. It would take a lot of money to get him. I don't see him being available next summer, but never say never.”

Especially in view of FC Liverpool's transfer power, Bailey warns Bayern. “If you're a club that can acquire Alexander Isak and Florian Wirtz in one transfer window, no one is out of reach for you,” the insider said.

For the Munich club, the situation is clear: Olise should be tied to the club long-term before the competition gets serious. An early extension with a mega salary increase would be a clear signal that the German record champions do not want to lose their rising star at any cost.
