Overview
- Bayern Munich are preparing fresh contract talks with Michael Olise and have reportedly discussed inserting a release clause of about €200m into a new long-term deal.
- Olise, 24, is under contract at Bayern until 2029, which currently gives the club leverage over any move but would be transformed by a clause that sets a defined asking price.
- Liverpool are actively tracking Olise as a long-term target to replace Mohamed Salah on the right flank and view a clause as the mechanism that would make a future bid concrete.
- The winger’s representatives are said to want a release clause to preserve Olise’s control over his future, while Bayern see the clause as a way to lock in value rather than risk a cheaper sale later.
- If the reports prove accurate, the clause would shape 2027 transfer planning by forcing rival clubs to decide whether to meet an extraordinary fee or try to negotiate below it, with Real Madrid and others also reported to be watching.
