Rummenigge wants to extend Michael Olise, better than Yamal
In the stands of the Bayern Munich stadium, Vincent Kompany watches Michael Olise, the French winger, who has already scored eight goals and provided three assists in seven matches across all competitions, while his contract runs until June 2029.
Rummenigge rates Olise on the same level as Yamal
Karl‑Heinz Rummenigge, former Bayern executive, told the Abendzeitung that Michael Olise was “more developed” than the young Lamine Yamal. He even specified that, in his view, there are two high‑level players in this position: Olise and Yamal.
“There are two high‑level players in this position: him and Lamine Yamal. Olise’s game is even more developed at the moment,” he said. This remark reinforces the Bavarian club’s confidence in the young Frenchman.
A contract until 2029 that sparks debate
Despite an agreement valid until June 2029, the question of an extension is already arising. Rummenigge did not hide his desire to see the Frenchman stay in Bavaria for a long time, citing the need for a future offer.
Rummenigge demands a clear pathway for Olise after Real rumors
Under Kompany’s guidance, Olise quickly imposed his style, combining speed and creativity, which has attracted the attention of European observers. His eight goals and three assists attest to an impressive start to the season.
For the France national team, Olise provided an assist to Kylian Mbappé during the 0‑1 victory over Turkey in the Nations League. The Bleus are now preparing to face the Red Devils on Monday evening at the King Baudouin Stadium.
Rummenigge’s desire to extend the contract shows that Bayern wants to build its future around its top talents, with Olise at the heart of the strategy. A decision that could shape the club’s composition until the end of the decade.
