Bayern’s Stance on Michael Olise
Bayern Munich is determined to keep Michael Olise, who has performed exceptionally well since joining the club in the summer of 2024.
Not for Sale: Sources indicate that any pursuit of Olise would be “pointless” as Bayern has no intention of entertaining offers.
No Release Clause: Contrary to some rumors, Bayern’s board member for sport Max Eberl has confirmed there is no release clause in Olise’s contract, which runs until June 2029. This means Bayern can set any asking price, making a transfer extremely difficult.
Contract Extension: Bayern is so committed to Olise that they are planning to offer him a new, improved contract to secure his long-term future at the club and ward off interest from Premier League sides like Liverpool and Manchester City.
