Michael Olise

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+)

Michael 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.

🚨 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.

🚨❌ 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. As hinted yesterday on our Transfer Update show at Sky. @berger_pj @SkySportDE 🇫🇷🇦🇷

🚨🆕 (1/2) FC Bayern remain relaxed despite the exclusive report from L’Équipe. Internally, the stance has been discussed again today and fully approved by all decision-makers, including Uli Hoeneß: Michael Olise is not for sale. 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.

🚨✅ 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.
