Overview
- Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen publicly reiterated on Thursday that the club wants Michael Olise to stay in Munich long term and said he could one day reach Ballon d’Or level.
- Dreesen and sporting director Max Eberl stressed that Olise’s current deal runs until 2029 and that formal extension negotiations have not yet begun.
- The club is sequencing contract work after completing Harry Kane’s long-term deal and is treating Olise as a high priority for future talks rather than an immediate renewal case.
- Bayern officials say Olise has vindicated the club’s investment since his move from the Premier League, providing consistent appearances and key creative contributions.
- Reports from October that Olise’s camp sought a large release clause of around €200m remain unresolved, and any revival of those demands would shape how Bayern approach a new contract.
