Overview
- Reports on Tuesday say Bayern will soon open formal talks to extend Michael Olise’s contract, with the club reportedly offering a deal through 2032.
- Olise’s representatives are expected to insist on a guaranteed release clause, with outlets citing figures higher than €200 million as realistic.
- Bayern are prepared to lift Olise into the club’s top-earning bracket as part of negotiations, with reports noting his current pay is far lower than the top earners he could join.
- Olise remains under contract at Bayern until June 30, 2029 and neither he nor his agent have publicly confirmed willingness to extend the deal.
- FIFA’s new rules on release clauses, due to take effect January 1, 2027, add pressure to how and when a clause would be written and could affect bargaining leverage and contract structure.
