The rumors surrounding Michael Olise continue – now a new report is causing a stir. According to the portal Fichajes , FC Arsenal are preparing a spectacular offer of 150 million euros to lure the FC Bayern attacking star away from Munich next summer.
The Gunners are determined to make a serious bid for the 23-year-old and are reportedly already planning concrete steps.
Olise has been a coveted player on the international market for months and a return to the Premier League is said to be conceivable for the right-back. However, Bayern are unlikely to be impressed by such sums: his contract runs until 2029 – and without an exit clause.
What’s more, Olise has quickly developed into a key player under Vincent Kompany. 20 assists in 21 competitive games this season are an impressive indication of his status in the team. Despite the rumoured mega-offer, it is extremely unlikely that the German record champions will let go of their top performer in the summer.
Bayern plan to extend Olise’s contract
Nevertheless, there are plenty of interested parties. In addition to Arsenal, Liverpool FC, Manchester United, Manchester City, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are also said to be keeping a close eye on Olise. The interest shows that Olise has become one of the most sought-after attacking players not only in Munich, but throughout Europe.
Instead of a possible sale, FC Bayern has long been working internally on the opposite solution: the French international’s contract is to be extended ahead of time. The aim is to nip any speculation in the bud and tie Olise to the club in the long term.
Head of Sport Max Eberl recently made it clear just how valuable Olise is to Bayern: „He has a contract until 2029 – without an exit clause – and is about to become one of the world’s best players.“ A statement that clearly shows where the journey is headed.
