Bayern grant Michael Olise €200m release clause to lock him to 2032

Inside the Allianz Arena, Michael Olise darts across the pitch, his feet flashing under the Bayern Munich banner as the crowd watches the French winger who has already netted four goals and supplied two assists in just four appearances for the Bleus.

Olise arrived in Bavaria after a spell at Crystal Palace, branded a high‑potential talent. The former Palace winger has swiftly become one of the key cogs in Bayern’s attacking machine, featuring regularly in the starting eleven. His performances have also impressed the France national team, reinforcing his status among the Bleus.

Historic release clause

To cement his future, Bayern are prepared to break a long‑standing policy by inserting a €200 million release clause into his new deal. Until now the German giants have staunchly opposed such clauses for senior players, making the concession exceptionally rare. The clause would give Olise freedom should a European heavyweight table a record offer.

Long‑term contract and salary boost

The proposed agreement could run until 2032, securing the French international for the next decade. Olise currently earns roughly €14 million a season; the new terms would lift his wages close to the club’s top bracket, where Harry Kane commands €25 million. The salary uplift reflects Bayern’s intent to make him a central figure.

Clubs such as Real Madrid and Liverpool are monitoring the situation closely, aware that the release clause could trigger a bidding war in the upcoming transfer windows. Their interest underscores Olise’s rising market value across Europe.

Bayern’s leadership wants to avoid protracted negotiations that could stall progress. By offering this unprecedented clause, they signal the exceptional value they place on Olise and their determination to build the project around him for the coming decade.
