Bayern Munich’s Transfer Decision Spells Bad News for Barcelona, PSG | OneFootball

PSG have made a point of reinforcing their French identity in recent transfer windows, adding the likes of Bradley Barcola, Desire Doue, and Lucas Chevalier to the squad.

Now, another French star could soon be on their radar. According to TBR Football, Bayern Munich are eager to tie down Michael Olise to a new contract before the season concludes, hoping to fend off growing interest from other clubs.

The German side are reportedly impressed with the winger’s progress and are preparing a “huge pay rise” to convince him to stay. Liverpool have kept tabs on Olise for a while, while Chelsea, PSG, and Barcelona are also admirers—but none are currently expected to make a move next summer.

Football Insider’s Pete O’Rourke reports that Bayern Munich have no plans to lose star man Michael Olise anytime soon amid interest in his services from PSG and other top clubs.

“I think it’s a real difficult deal to do for anybody, not just Manchester City, because Bayern Munich don’t want to lose to Olise,” O’Rourke said. “He’s under contract until 2029. There’s talk about preparing a new deal to try and ward off that interest and sort of end any speculation with a move away.

“I’m sure Bayern will be confident they can keep hold of Michael Olise. So yeah, it looks a real difficult deal to do for Man City and all Michael Olise’s other suitors as well, because he’s such a key man for Bayern now.

“Bayern won’t want to lose their top players and they’ll put a huge price tag on their side to scare off those potential interested clubs and as I said they’re preparing a new contract that they will hope that the Frenchman will sign to sort of end any speculation of a move away from Bavaria.“
