Max Eberl: No talks with Michael Olise at FC Bayern
Before the Bundesliga match at FC Augsburg, sporting director Max Eberl said clearly in the interview: There are no talks yet about a contract extension for Michael Olise at FC Bayern. The 24‑year‑old Frenchman is a world‑class player that the club wants to keep long‑term and who.
Contract situation and desire for extension
The club has already secured a long‑term contract until 2029 for the exceptional talent, but Eberl emphasized that the clear goal is to nail it down and keep Olise beyond 2029. “Our wish is clearly recorded,” said the 53‑year‑old sporting director. “We would like to work with Michael for a long time, beyond 2029, preferably by extending.”
Salary, contract length and bonus clause
According to media reports, Olise is currently earning roughly €14 million per year. For a possible contract until 2032, a yearly salary of up to €25 million is being discussed, which would place him in the salary bracket of Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala. Fabrizio Romano also mentioned a Ballon‑d‑Or clause that would trigger bonus payments if the title is won.
Olise had agreed to a release clause at his previous club Crystal Palace, but the current employment contract does not contain such an option. The French international, according to his inner circle, wanted to sign only with a release clause. Bayern signed him in 2024 for €53 million.
Bayern want to keep Michael Olise, but the release clause blocks
Parallel to the Olise rumours, negotiations are underway with Harry Kane, whose contract expires at the end of the season. Eberl explained that talks with the Englishman take priority. Kane himself said: “We are quite close. It won’t be much longer before there is an announcement.”
In September, the sport‑interview with Eberl revealed that the club wanted to know by next summer whether Olise shows a tendency to extend. Nevertheless, Eberl “honestly” made clear that there have been “no talks at all.”
“What is happening around us has not happened yet,” Eberl stressed further. He added that it is “absolutely clear” that Bayern would like to keep Olise beyond 2029, but there is “a third party.”
The clear stance of the record‑champion from Munich shows that the club’s leadership, despite external speculation, is working on a long‑term commitment for the French winger, with financial terms and possible release clauses still being negotiated.
