Bayern set to extend: Michael Olise tempted by this top club | OneFootball

Michael Olise has quickly matured into a key player at FC Bayern – and now appears to be on the radar of the absolute heavyweights of European football. The 23-year-old winger seems to have already identified his preferred club.

The Frenchman transferred from Crystal Palace to the Isar in the summer of 2024 for 53 million euros and has developed into a cornerstone of the offense in Munich. With his blend of elegance, dribbling skills, and finishing ability, he embodies the modern winger like few others.

In his debut season for Bayern, Olise collected an impressive 20 goals and 23 assists in 55 competitive matches – a decisive factor in the renewed Bundesliga title win. He continues these performances in the current season: In nine appearances, he has already scored five goals and provided six assists.

Olise's rise sparking interest comes as no surprise. According to the report, Real Madrid plans to integrate the 23-year-old into its new "Galacticos" project and develop him alongside Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham. Pep Guardiola, on the other hand, sees Olise as an elite option for Manchester City's wing play.

At FC Bayern, they are aware of the interest and want to keep the offensive star long-term. According to Sport BILD, the Munich club is considering an early extension until 2031, including a salary increase, to convince Olise to stay.

Olise keeps transfer options open

Despite Bayern's clear stance, it's not out of the question that Olise might seek a new challenge in the future. According to information from TEAMtalk, a move to Real Madrid would be particularly appealing for the offensive artist. A return to the Premier League is also on the table. City could make a move at any time with its financial capabilities.

For Bayern fans, the current development is a double-edged sword: On one hand, Olise has long established himself as the face of the new FC Bayern and harmonizes excellently with Harry Kane and others. On the other hand, history shows that even top performers are hard to retain in the European market.

Looking ahead to the upcoming transfer windows, Olise is likely to be one of the most discussed names.
