Liverpool may have now cost themselves Michael Olise transfer
First reported 2026-09-04 09:23 BST
Some of this tweet was fact and some opinion, 🚨🚨Liverpool will work on building substantial groundwork on Michael Olise deal throughout the season. As reported since last September Olise is Liverpool’s absolute main target to replace Salah. #LFC

#LFC 🔴 🚨 As reported here on December Liverpool’s dream right winger target remains Michael Olise. The player was unavailable this summer however Bayern Munich are open to sales from next summer. Liverpool remain interested as of now. Feeling is the price would be around £135m+.

PLAY ONExclusive 💣 Reliable sources indicate that Liverpool are in talks with Bayern Munich over a potential summer move for Michael Olise. Cody Gakpo, Florian Wirtz and Rio Ngumoha have been mentioned as part of the discussions. #LFC are understood to be open to a range of options. Olise is believed to be very keen on a move to Anfield.

🚨Liverpool have a strong desire to bring in a marquee winger in 2027. Michael Olise is understood to be on top of the list. The transfer fee may not be the biggest hurdle. The real challenge for #LFC could be to convince Olise to choose Anfield over Real Madrid. #TransferNews

🔗 FYI: Reports suggesting Bayern Munich are currently in talks with #LFC over Michael Olise are wide of the mark. There are absolutely no club-to-club negotiations, nor even informal talks, taking place with Liverpool or any other club at present. However, as the first journalist worldwide to report #LFC’s interest in Michael Olise, I’ve consistently maintained that there is a genuine possibility of a move developing, but with transfers of this magnitude, the player’s position comes first before any club-to-club talks take place. Inside Bayern, the anticipation is that talks with several leading European clubs will take place in summer 2027, with England’s greatest institution, Liverpool, expected to be firmly at the forefront alongside other major sides.

UNDER REVIEW🚨 EXCL: Michael Olise’s representatives have been in contact behind the scenes with three clubs, namely Liverpool Football Club, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, while Manchester City also approached his camp several months ago only to be informed that the feeling was simply not mutual, with Olise showing little desire to enter that conversation and City consequently deciding to walk away, #LFC meanwhile are understood to have already completed much of the groundwork behind the scenes and there are figures within leading agencies who increasingly believe England’s grandest institution have quietly manoeuvred themselves into pole position should Michael ultimately decide that the moment has arrived to leave Munich. The current tendency within the industry, and a reality Bayern Munich are slowly beginning to understand themselves, is that Michael Olise has little appetite to extend his stay in Bavaria beyond his existing contract as he increasingly feels that both his football and his own stature are beginning to outgrow the relatively small institution surrounding him, Germany has offered him the platform to become one of the finest footballers on the planet but not the emotion he ultimately craves, the Allianz Arena does not carry the electricity or sense of theatre he associates with football at its highest level while lifting another Bundesliga title before an ageing crowd gathered beneath a Munich balcony simply cannot recreate the feeling of conquering England beneath the red smoke of Liverpool, Paris erupting around the Champs-Élysées or Madrid surrendering itself to another European night. Liverpool in particular carries a fascination to Michael since childhood difficult to manufacture anywhere else, the mystique of Anfield under the lights, the weight of generations inside those four stands, the anthem before a European night and the idea that one extraordinary footballer can become immortal in a city which remembers its heroes forever is viewed as an entirely different emotional proposition to the polished but comparatively sterile existence Michael has encountered in Munich, and for a player whose ambitions now stretch far beyond collecting domestic trophies in Germany there is a growing feeling that the defining chapters of his career must be written beneath brighter lights, in front of louder crowds and upon a considerably greater stage. The Ballon d’Or inevitably sits somewhere within that thinking too, because Michael Olise and those around him increasingly understand that becoming the best footballer in the world is not only about producing the numbers but about creating moments the football world remembers, and there is a belief that the road towards that golden ball becomes shorter when those moments happen beneath the lights of Anfield, inside the Bernabéu or in the heart of Paris rather than within the comfortable boundaries of a small Bavarian institution whose greatest nights increasingly feel detached from the centre of the footballing world.

We will sign a bluechip Salah replacement in the summer. As previously mentioned, Olise is the one they’ve wanted for 2 years. But if he goes elsewhere, the players he will elbow out would make a superb consolation prize. Truly elite front 4 incoming.

France face Ivory Coast tomorrow in an international friendly ahead of the World Cup, and it is worth noting that Bayern Munich’s Michael Olise is genuinely surprised by Bayern Munich’s transfer window so far, their targets, their rejections and their increasing turn towards thirty-year-old players from the Eredivisie. Michael, along with several others in the dressing room, believes the club is no longer operating at the level expected of a genuine European elite and currently has little realistic chance of competing with the continent’s true heavyweights for the Champions League. #AD (18+)

STANDSMichael Olise has made the decision to remain at Bayern Munich this summer and, despite being under contract until 2029, the club are determined to open fresh negotiations immediately after the World Cup with the objective of extending his deal until 2031. The figures being sanctioned inside the supervisory board are understood to be unprecedented in Bayern Munich history and reflect both the club’s extraordinary valuation of the player and their awareness of the level of admiration he commands across European football. I can now exclusively reveal that Bayern are prepared to offer Olise a signing bonus worth £25 million alongside a salary package of approximately £600,000 per week, equivalent to around £31.2 million per year. The proposed terms are designed not only to reward arguably the best player in world football currently, but also to reduce any future temptation presented by footballing institutions such as Real Madrid or Liverpool. There is a growing recognition inside Bayern that retaining generational players in Munich increasingly requires the club to offer financial packages above normal market value, as the traditional pull of Bayern alone is no longer always sufficient to outweigh the attraction of the Premier League or institutions such as Real Madrid. It is important to stress, however, that there is currently no guarantee Michael Olise or his representatives will agree to a new contract despite Bayern’s determination to secure one, although the club are prepared to push beyond anything they have historically offered before, viewing such an extraordinary financial commitment as a necessary step to keep football’s most coveted player in Munich for the long term, with formal talks, as previously mentioned, expected to begin immediately after the World Cup.

🗣️ Bayern President Herbert Hainer has ruled out selling Michael Olise. Florentino Perez's €150m bid claim related to Olise, but Bayern have no plans to sell at any price. "If Florentino wishes to make us an offer, which has not been the case so far, he can save himself the trouble, not even for €150m or more."

🚨❌ As repeatedly explained at Sky in recent days, there was never any reason to worry regarding Michael Olise. Firstly, it was never clear that Florentino Perez really actually intended to make an offer for Olise, despite many reports suggesting otherwise. Secondly, FC Bayern were never willing to enter negotiations and Olise has also not expressed any desire to leave the club. The offer was for Julian Alvarez.

Also mentioned this club in a post about another. That post is not counted towards the ranking here.
Real Madrid, in the person of its president Florentino Pérez, has informed his old friend and fellow board member of Bayern Munich, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, that the club’s widely discussed interest in winger Michael Olise is never intended to culminate in an actual transfer. Instead, the operation forms part of a broader strategy designed to generate excitement among supporters ahead of Florentino Pérez’s presidential election, project ambition and dominate the media cycle without ever committing the financial resources required to complete such a deal. Bayern Munich are fully involved in the arrangement and view it favourably, believing that sustained links between the world’s biggest clubs and their star player will further elevate his profile and, in turn, increase his perceived market value for sponsorship deals. The expectation is that the story will run its course, with an apparent bid dominating the media cycle as early as next week, before ultimately ending with Bayern Munich portrayed as unwilling to sell, allowing all parties to benefit from the publicity while preserving the status quo.

He has a contract until 2029, so there is no reason to rush into anything.” Olise delivered another strong performance in today’s 5-1 win over VfB Stuttgart, scoring a goal. A move away this summer was never on the table, nor did he ever submit a transfer request. Never planned. Always untouchable this summer. @SkySportDE 🇫🇷

PLAY ON🚨 EXCL: Bayern Munich’s hierarchy have been informed in recent hours by Michael Olise’s representatives and agent of the player’s desire to leave the club with immediate effect. The message has now reached the very highest level inside Bayern, with the club’s leadership now fully aware of Olise’s intention to seek a departure. Last August, I became the first journalist anywhere in the world to report that Michael Olise did not see his long-term future in provincial Munich, competing in a farmers league called the Bundesliga, a story that was widely dismissed at the time. Today, more and more outlets are reporting on the uncertainty surrounding Michael Olise’s future, as what was once dismissed as an isolated report continues to unfold into one of the defining transfer stories of the summer, proving once again that time remains my greatest ally, while I simply wait for the story to catch up with me.

The club also believe they are in no position where they can be pressured. Bayern are fully aware that Real Madrid could become an option for Olise one day. That is no secret. As things stand, however, Bayern are planning with Olise 100%. Contract until 2029 has no exit-options. All doors remain closed at this stage. Bayern want to extend his contract and are prepared to make Olise one of the club’s top three earners. @SkySportDE 🇫🇷
Translated: Decision-makers including Hoeness reaffirm the stance despite an exclusive report.

STANDS🚨✅ Max Eberl has also confirmed our news that the Michael Olise topic is closed: “I’ve always kept in contact with Michael during the World Cup. We asked him if he wanted to wear the No. 11 shirt, but he said: ‘No, I want to keep the No. 17.’ The communication was completely normal.” “It became quite amusing how the rumours kept growing. Real Madrid and FC Bayern made their position very clear. There was no truth to those rumours. Hopefully that topic is over now.” As revealed, Olise and his agent informed Bayern during the World Cup that he wanted to stay. Olise was never close to joining Real and never asked to leave FC Bayern or push for a transfer.
