Bayern Munich prepare Michael Olise talks as Real Madrid monitor release-clause demand

Bayern Munich are preparing to open negotiations with Michael Olise over a contract extension after the international break, with the club seeking to secure the France forward’s future beyond his current deal, which runs until 2029.

According to German newspaper Sport Bild, discussions are expected to be more challenging than those held over Harry Kane’s contract, with Bayern still unsure of Olise’s intentions or those of his representatives.

The Bundesliga club wants to increase Olise’s salary from 14m euros to 25m euros – the same level as Kane’s – in an attempt to keep him at Bayern until 2032. Spanish newspaper AS reports that the proposed rise would take effect next summer, forming a central part of the club’s efforts to persuade the Frenchman to remain.

Olise’s main demand, however, is understood to be the inclusion of a release clause. No such provision exists in his current contract, and the player is believed to want one added to any new agreement.

Sport Bild reports that a clause worth 200m euros would be considered reasonable. Olise’s long-term future remains uncertain, while Real Madrid are monitoring the situation closely. Liverpool are also following developments with considerable interest.

Bayern want to resolve the uncertainty as quickly as possible. Sporting director Max Eberl recently made clear that the club’s objective is to establish, by next summer at the latest, whether Olise is willing to extend his contract beyond 2029.

There are strong reasons for Bayern to accelerate the process. Olise has quickly established himself as one of the team’s leading players, beginning the season with eight goals and four assists in only seven matches.

His current market value is 170m euros, according to the source, underlining the importance Bayern place on reaching an agreement before interest from elsewhere develops further.
