Bayern Munich Backs Michael Olise Extension Plans in Munich

Bayern Munich is working to keep winger Michael Olise beyond his current 2029 contract as club officials address interest from major European teams. The German club, based in Munich, Germany, wants a long-term extension and says it is negotiating from a position of strength.

Bayern sporting director Max Eberl, who helped bring Olise to the club, said the team values the French winger highly. According to Bavarian Football Works, Olise has recorded 18 goal contributions in 12 matches for club and country this season.

"We’ve clearly stated our wish. We would like to continue working with Michael for a long time, beyond 2029, ideally extending his contract. He’s a world-class player who still hasn’t reached his full potential yet," said Max Eberl, Bayern Munich director of sport.

Eberl also addressed the status of discussions between the club and Olise’s representatives. He indicated that Bayern’s public intention to extend the deal has not yet turned into formal negotiations.

"To be honest, there have been no talks at all yet," said Max Eberl, Bayern Munich director of sport.

The sporting director added that the situation involves both Bayern’s plans and Olise’s camp. The winger remains under contract through 2029, giving the club time to manage his future.

"What’s being discussed around us hasn’t actually happened. Our intention is crystal clear. That’s what we want, but there’s another party involved [Olise and his camp]," said Max Eberl, Bayern Munich director of sport.

Bayern president Herbert Hainer said the club is not under financial pressure to sell Olise despite reported interest from Real Madrid during the summer. He emphasized that the club wants to retain its leading players and control future decisions.

"I am convinced that Bayern are a club that are not forced to sell players," said Herbert Hainer, Bayern Munich president.

According to beIN Sports, Bayern views Olise and Harry Kane as important parts of its plans to maintain the core of the squad. Hainer also expressed optimism about Kane’s future, noting that talks regarding the England captain are progressing well.

Olise joined Bayern with the club aiming to build around his attacking ability. The club’s current position is that any future decision involving the winger will be handled under terms that fit Bayern’s objectives.
