Eberl faces tricky Olise decision: Bayern risk another Musiala situation | OneFootball

FC Bayern faces a tricky personnel question: The future of Michael Olise is developing into the key issue of the coming months. According to transfer insider Christian Falk, the situation of the French winger is strongly reminiscent of that of Jamal Musiala. If the record champions wait too long to start contract talks, there is a risk that the financially powerful Premier League will swoop in.

Manchester City and Liverpool are said to be closely monitoring Olise. Both clubs know that with a player of his quality, they will only have a chance if Bayern hesitates. As long as the 23-year-old is under contract, Munich still has control over the matter, but the clock is ticking.

A problem for Bayern: Olise already has experience in the Premier League. Back then, he wasn't one of the big names, but if he were to return, he would undoubtedly be a superstar. That makes him all the more interesting for the English heavyweights.

There are also persistent rumors that Olise has a fixed release clause in his contract. The decision-makers in Munich did not want to comment specifically on the speculation.

Between Salary Structure and Leadership Role

Another dilemma: Olise's salary. On the one hand, it would make sense to increase his pay in line with his sporting importance. On the other hand, the club management around Max Eberl is pursuing the goal of reducing the overall salary structure. A balancing act that makes the issue of a contract extension even more difficult.

Nevertheless, FC Bayern has a clear opportunity. Olise could take on a central role in Munich—not just on the pitch, but also as a leader in a young, dynamic team. His close connection to Musiala and Alphonso Davies could help tie him to the club for the long term.

Bayern Must Act

Ultimately, the sporting perspective is likely to be decisive. If Olise feels that he can compete for the Bundesliga and the Champions League with FC Bayern every year, that would be a strong argument for staying.

But one thing is also clear: Bayern cannot afford to wait too long. Anyone who starts contract talks too late risks losing a key player—just as almost happened with Musiala. For Olise, this means: the course must be set early.
