FC Bayern wants to keep Michael Olise on the team long-term. But the planned contract extension with the French attacking star could turn out to be a costly affair for the German record champions. In particular, Real Madrid’s continued interest is said to have significantly strengthened the 24-year-old’s negotiating position. Now there are new details regarding a possible buyout clause.
Olise has become one of the most important players in Vincent Kompany’s squad. His strong performances have long attracted the interest of top international clubs. Real Madrid, in particular, apparently continues to monitor the Frenchman’s development very closely.
Although Olise is under contract with Munich through the summer of 2029, Bayern officials want to ensure planning certainty as early as possible. In doing so, however, they may have to make far-reaching concessions to the attacking player.
Real Madrid is driving up the price for Olise
According to the Spanish sports newspaper AS, Real Madrid continues to closely monitor the situation surrounding the Bayern star.
According to the report, while officials in Madrid assume that Olise will remain with FC Bayern, Real Madrid is also aware that its own interest has significantly altered the financial terms of a potential contract extension.
For Munich, this means that even if a move to Spain isn’t immediately on the horizon, Real Madrid could indirectly exert significant influence on the negotiations.
Olise and his advisors find themselves in a comfortable position thanks to interest from European rivals. FC Bayern would have to offer the Frenchman correspondingly attractive terms to keep him at the club long-term.
Recently, there have been reports suggesting that, as part of a contract extension, Olise could rise to become one of the highest-paid players at the record-breaking champions. According to these reports, he could even earn a salary higher than Jamal Musiala’s.
A buyout clause of more than 200 million euros?
Another aspect of the report from Spain is particularly interesting. According to AS, the inclusion of a buyout clause in the new contract could further strengthen Olise’s position. A sum of more than 200 million euros is reportedly being discussed.
Such a clause would, under certain conditions, give the player the option to leave the club in exchange for a fixed transfer fee.
For FC Bayern, however, this would be a significant concession. According to current information, the Frenchman’s current contract does not contain a buyout clause.
It remains to be seen whether the Munich club would actually be willing to accept such a provision. Nor is it known whether concrete discussions about such a clause have already taken place.
Bayern is determined to keep Olise
Meanwhile, the record champion’s fundamental stance has not changed. Club officials view Olise as a key building block for the team’s sporting future.
Sporting director Max Eberl recently announced that the Munich club intends to begin talks about an extension in the near future.
President Herbert Hainer also made it clear in an interview with BILD that FC Bayern sees no reason to let its superstar go. “Michael Olise has a contract through 2029, and I hope he’ll extend it,” the Bayern boss explained.
At the same time, Hainer emphasized that the Munich club is not financially dependent on selling its best players.
Thus, the situation remains clear: Real Madrid would apparently like to sign Olise, but does not currently expect him to leave Munich.
For FC Bayern, however, the interest from the “Royals” could still prove costly. After all, the more sought-after Olise becomes on the international transfer market, the more difficult it is likely to be to keep the Frenchman at the club long-term under the current terms.
