Bayern Munich are seeking to renew Michael Olise’s contract after extending Harry Kane’s deal, amid reported interest from Liverpool and Real Madrid.
Bayern’s renewal plan
Transfer insider Fabrizio Romano said on his YouTube channel: “Bayern’s next mission after extending Harry Kane’s contract, will also be to extend the contract of Michael Olise, get a new deal done.”
Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen, when asked about the possibility of extending Olise’s deal, said: “That’s something Max and I are jointly responsible for. His contract runs until 2029, and we’ll sit down and discuss things at the appropriate time.”
Interest from Liverpool and Real Madrid
Romano said Real Madrid had Olise high in their thoughts during the summer and made a bid, but Bayern closed all the doors and were not considering an exit.
There have been reports in recent months indicating that Olise would be keen on a move to Liverpool if the opportunity arose.
Olise’s Bayern figures
Olise moved from Crystal Palace to Bayern Munich in a deal worth €60m in the summer of 2024. He provided 15 goals and 19 assists in 32 Bundesliga appearances last term, and has contributed 10 goals and four assists in 12 appearances in all competitions this term.
Ballon d’Or ranking
Olise finished ninth in the Ballon d’Or, which Bayern Munich team-mate Harry Kane won.
Former Manchester United scout Mick Brown told Football Insider: “Michael Olise is an outstanding player; he’s shown that for Bayern Munich and for France. He’s being spoken about along with Harry Kane and Lamine Yamal as one of the front-runners for the Ballon d’Or, so it’s no surprise there will be interest in him.”
