Following the agreement with Harry Kane, FC Bayern faces its next major contract negotiation. Michael Olise is set to become the face of the club for the long term.
FC Bayern is on the verge of resolving one of its most important issues for the future. Harry Kane is expected to extend his contract through 2029 and remain among the highest-paid players on the Munich squad. This would tie the striker to the club for the long term—but the next major contract challenge is already on the horizon.
Michael Olise is also under contract through the summer of 2029. Therefore, there is no immediate time pressure regarding the Frenchman. Nevertheless, Bayern apparently wants to prevent this situation from eventually turning into an open transfer battle at an early stage.
Since his arrival, the 24-year-old has developed into one of the team’s most important players. His on-field impact is now barely second only to that of Kane or Jamal Musiala. In terms of salary, however, Olise is reportedly still significantly below the absolute top earners. According to media reports, he currently earns around 14 million euros gross per year.
Kane is also expected to receive about 25 million euros annually under his new contract. Musiala is reportedly in a similar salary range. A substantial pay raise is therefore on the horizon for Olise.
Olise could become Bayern’s new top earner
According to information from Sky, FC Bayern is even prepared to place Olise at the top of the internal salary hierarchy if he signs an extension. This could mean the winger would earn more than Kane and Musiala in the future. Recently, there have already been public calls for him to be moved up to the highest salary bracket.
The Munich club has good reasons to act early. Real Madrid and other top European clubs are keeping a close eye on Olise’s development. Although Bayern considers him unsellable, his international market value grows with every strong season he has.
Added to this is his growing importance off the field. The new equipment sponsorship deal with Nike and his planned role in reviving the Hypervenom line show that Olise is also being positioned as a global star from a commercial standpoint. This further strengthens his position for upcoming negotiations.

The Frenchman himself has not caused any public stir so far. He rarely comments on his future and has shown no desire to leave. This is precisely what gives Bayern the opportunity to conduct talks without immediate pressure.
Nevertheless, the new contract is likely to be expensive. In addition to salary, the contract term, bonus payments, and marketing rights could play a significant role. Real Madrid’s continued interest, in particular, means that Bayern has little room for compromise in its offer.
Extending Kane’s contract would secure Bayern’s present. The Olise situation, on the other hand, will determine who shapes the team in the coming years. The message from the club’s leadership is likely clear: Olise should not only stay but also become one of the faces of FC Bayern in the long term.
