Bayern Munich Eyes New Contract for Michael Olise Amid Transfer Interest

Bayern Munich is turning its attention toward securing the long-term future of winger Michael Olise by working on a new contract. The move follows the recent announcement regarding a lucrative new deal for England captain Harry Kane, which commits the striker to the Bundesliga champions until 2029.

Olise has experienced a dramatic rise since moving to the Allianz Arena from Crystal Palace in 2024. During his impressive campaign last season, the France international contributed 22 goals and 27 assists, establishing himself as one of the most exciting talents in European football and earning a ninth-place finish in the Ballon d'Or standings.

His stellar performances attracted substantial attention from top clubs across Europe during the summer. Real Madrid showed strong interest, with discussions of a potential €200 million bid, while Arsenal and Liverpool have also been closely monitoring the player's situation.

Despite external pressure and immense speculation, Bayern Munich firmly resisted any potential exit. Speaking about the winger's current deal, which runs until 2029, Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen stated, "We have always said that we don't just have Harry as a fantastic player in our ranks, but also players like Michael Olise, among others. His contract runs until 2029, and we will discuss that in due course."

Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano confirmed that agreeing to a new deal with Olise is the club's next mission following Kane's extension. Bayern aims to ward off future attempts from interested suitors, including Real Madrid president Florentino Perez, by locking the player down with improved terms.

Dreesen also expressed immense confidence in the young attacker's potential to reach the pinnacle of the sport. "I'm 100% convinced that Michael will win the Ballon d'Or in his career. With us, he has an environment that helps him shine—he has teammates with whom he's working very well," Dreesen said.

Meanwhile, Liverpool remains an admirer of the former Crystal Palace standout, with long-term aspirations of bringing him to Anfield if an opportunity arises. However, given his current valuation and Bayern's determination to keep him, any potential pursuit by prospective buyers appears extremely challenging.
