FC Bayern apparently doesn’t want to take any risks with Michael Olise. Although the French national team player is under contract with the German record champions through 2029, the Munich club is working on an early contract extension. In doing so, club officials are apparently willing to go to great financial lengths. Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano is now reporting on a planned mega-offer for the 24-year-old.
Since his move from Crystal Palace, Olise has developed into one of the key players on Vincent Kompany’s team. His outstanding performances have long attracted the interest of top international clubs. Real Madrid, in particular, is said to be keeping a close eye on the attacking player.
Bayern therefore wants to thwart any potential poaching attempts early on. According to information from Romano, a new contract would not only tie Olise to the club long-term but also take his compensation to a whole new level.
Romano Reveals Bayern’s Plan for Olise
As the transfer expert reports, the Munich club wants to offer the Frenchman a “top contract” with a “fantastic salary.”
Romano does not, however, cite specific figures. What is clear, though, is that Bayern wants to make their attacking star one of the most important figures in the coming years.
In doing so, club officials are underscoring the importance Olise has come to hold within the team. The 24-year-old is one of the most dangerous attacking players in Europe, and it’s hard to imagine Bayern’s offense without him.
As early as the beginning of November, there were reports about the Frenchman’s financial expectations. According to those reports, Olise expects a significant salary increase in the event of an early contract extension. Given his on-field development and his increased market value, the national team player is likely to have a correspondingly strong negotiating position.
Munich has already secured one of its key players, Harry Kane, to a long-term contract. According to consistent reports, the 33-year-old earns just under 30 million euros per season, including bonus payments.
Now, Olise could become the next attacking star for whom Bayern will dig deep into their pockets.
Real Madrid isn’t giving up
The planned contract extension is also linked to Real Madrid’s ongoing interest. The club has been keeping an eye on Olise for quite some time and is reportedly continuing to closely monitor his development.
Most recently, there have even been reports that Kylian Mbappé and Ibrahima Konaté are trying to convince their teammate to move to Madrid during the French national team’s current training camp.
According to information from Romano, however, Real Madrid does not want to jeopardize its good relationship with FC Bayern.
An aggressive transfer push against Munich’s explicit wishes therefore does not seem to be a priority—at least for now.
In any case, Romano sees the German record champions in a comfortable position. With a contract running through 2029, Bayern has control over Olise’s future.
There is therefore no immediate pressure to sell at Säbener Straße. Nevertheless, club officials apparently want to avoid the contract issue becoming a major problem in the coming years.
By extending his contract early, the Munich club could send a clear signal to its European rivals.
