Panic in Munich? How Bayern chiefs are responding to the Olise rumours | OneFootball

Great hopes at Bayern Munich rest on Michael Olise – the Frenchman is already regarded as a key figure for the coming years. While the international elite are vying for the 23-year-old, things remain notably calm on Säbener Straße.

As BILD football chief Christian Falk reports, the German record champions are not worried about a possible departure of the attacking star next summer. Although Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid are said to have set their sights on Olise, there is confidence in Munich.

In England, there was recently talk of a potential transfer fee beyond 115 million euros – figures that clearly reflect the appreciation for the Frenchman, but do not change Bayern’s stance.

At Bayern Munich, Olise is considered not for sale. The club is firmly planning with the pacey dribbler, who joined from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2024 for around 50 million euros and quickly developed into a key performer.

According to the report, there was even some surprise in Munich that the English top clubs had not pursued the winger more aggressively at the time. Only Newcastle United seriously tried to challenge Bayern.

Now, a year later, the Bavarians want to take the next step – and continue the Olise chapter in the long term.

Contract talks ongoing – Bayern planning a pay rise

As Falk further reports, the record champions are working on an early contract extension. The talks are ongoing, though not without challenges. The increased interest from abroad gives the player’s side a strong negotiating position – accordingly, the salary demands are likely to be high.

Olise is said to currently earn around 12 million euros per year plus bonuses, an increase is firmly planned. However, the financial leeway remains limited: Joshua Kimmich and Manuel Neuer are said to be at around 20 million euros, with Harry Kane topping the wage bill at up to 24 million.

Despite the internal directive to enforce the wage structure more strictly in future, the club is, according to BILD, prepared to make an exception for Olise. Because one thing is clear: the Frenchman has long been indispensable for Bayern – both in sporting terms and for the future.
