Bayern star in demand: these top clubs chasing Michael Olise | OneFootball

Michael Olise is already considered one of the key players at FC Bayern – and is attracting interest from the biggest clubs in Europe.

According to information from BILD, both Liverpool FC and Manchester City, two Premier League heavyweights, are on the list of potential suitors. Paris Saint-Germain is also reportedly eyeing the 23-year-old, as previously reported by Sky.

However, at FC Bayern, no one is thinking about a departure. Olise has quickly become indispensable and is regarded as one of the key players in Vincent Kompany's team after his outstanding debut season.

In the 2024/25 Bundesliga season, he scored twelve goals and provided 16 assists. This made him the league's top assist provider and the second-best scorer for the record champions, right behind Harry Kane.

The right winger transferred from Crystal Palace to Munich in the summer of 2024 for 53 million euros and signed a contract until 2029. This long contract duration gives Bayern's management a comfortable position. According to BILD, a departure is currently completely out of the question – and most importantly: there is no release clause in the Frenchman's contract.

Bayern relies on Olise

This has been confirmed by both the club and the player, as previously reported by Sky. This allows Bayern fans to breathe a sigh of relief after wild speculation about a possible exit option circulated in recent days.

Olise's dream start to the new season is causing additional interest. With three goals in the first games, he underscored his exceptional position in Munich's offensive setup. Yet despite international interest, the management remains calm.

"We never discuss contract details as a matter of principle," explained sports director Christoph Freund recently, but he added: "Our clear desire is for him to stay at FC Bayern for a very, very long time because he is an extraordinary footballer who works very hard to keep getting better at a very high level."

With this, the club makes it clear that Olise is firmly planned for – regardless of the advances from Paris, Liverpool, or Manchester. For Bayern's management, the young Frenchman is a strategically central player for the coming years.
