Michael Olise is the subject of early contract extension discussions at Bayern Munich, a development that complicates the long-term transfer ambitions of Real Madrid, according to reports from Sky Sport Germany and other outlets.
Bayern Munich opens exploratory talks to secure Michael Olise
Bayern Munich has initiated exploratory discussions with Michael Olise to extend his contract and preempt mounting interest from Real Madrid, as reported by Sky Sport Germany. The 24-year-old France international arrived at the Allianz Arena in the summer of 2024 from Crystal Palace for a reported fee of 60 million euros and is currently under contract until June 30, 2029, without an active release clause.
Financial terms and the proposed 200 million euro release clause
To finalize an extension that could stretch his commitment until 2032, Bayern Munich is reportedly prepared to make significant financial concessions. According to coverage in Bild and Media365, the German club is considering a salary increase that would lift Olise’s annual earnings to roughly 24 million euros, positioning him ahead of teammate Jamal Musiala and closer to Harry Kane’s reported 25 million euro package. Club management is reportedly open to inserting a 200 million euro release clause into the new agreement—a rare mechanism for the Bundesliga champions, who traditionally prefer maintaining direct control over player departures.
Real Madrid monitors the situation alongside European suitors
Real Madrid continues to monitor Olise’s trajectory closely following previous links during the summer transfer window, when an initial 150 million euro valuation was reportedly dismissed by Munich executives. According to Sky Sport Germany, club officials in Madrid believe the winger will ultimately commit his future to Bayern unless a concrete, high-value bid changes the situation. Liverpool has also been mentioned in European reports as an interested observer, though no formal offers have materialized.
Vincent Kompany praises the French international’s rapid ascent
Bayern Munich manager Vincent Kompany recently lauded Olise’s ongoing development in an interview with Sky Sport Germany, describing the attacker as one of the finest players in world football. He has made huge progress in recent years,
Kompany stated, emphasizing the player’s tactical intelligence and meticulous attention to detail during training sessions. Following a 2025–26 campaign that yielded 22 goals and 31 assists across 52 appearances, Olise has maintained productive form into the current season.
Board confidence from Karl-Heinz Rummenigge
Reinforcing the club’s stance, Bayern supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge expressed optimism regarding the long-term futures of both Olise and Harry Kane. Speaking to the German outlet ran, Rummenigge noted, Both have the intention to stay a long time at Bayern,
adding that he expects Kane and subsequently Olise to put pen to paper on extended terms.
Questions surrounding the upcoming negotiation timeline
As formal negotiations progress toward a definitive schedule, several questions remain regarding the final structure of the agreement. It remains unclear whether club leadership will fully commit to the 200 million euro release clause demanded by the player’s representatives, or if Real Madrid will mount a formal bid ahead of the summer transfer window. Both clubs await the next official checkpoint as Olise returns to domestic action following international duty with France.
