Munich’s attention will turn back to Michael Olise once the international break is over, with Bayern Munich preparing an early move to reinforce the French forward’s place at the club. Although his present agreement still runs to June 2029, Bayern want to open talks on improved terms rather than wait for interest from elsewhere in Europe to grow.
Bayern plan an early contract move
- Olise joined Bayern in 2024 after leaving Crystal Palace and has quickly become one of the central figures in the German champions’ squad.
- His recent form for club and country, including a spectacular goal that secured victory for France, has further raised his profile across the continent.
- After the current international window, Bayern intend to begin discussions over an extension and a substantial pay rise.
- The club’s proposal would lift Olise from an estimated gross annual salary of €13 million to between €16 million and €18 million per season.
- That increase would place the 24-year-old in a more prominent position within Bayern’s salary structure and strengthen the club’s position before future transfer windows.
European interest in the French forward
There is no immediate contractual pressure on Bayern, with almost three years left on Olise’s existing deal. The concern in Munich is instead strategic: a player performing at his level is likely to draw increasing attention well before his contract approaches its final stages.
Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester City and Liverpool have all been linked with monitoring the forward. Bayern’s response is to act early, rewarding a player viewed as essential while reducing the prospect of a prolonged transfer battle later on.
The planned negotiations form part of a wider effort by the Bavarian club to retain the core of its side. For Olise, whose influence has grown rapidly since his move from south London, the next contract discussion could confirm just how highly he is valued at the Allianz Arena.
