Bayern Munich Set to Open Michael Olise Contract Talks
Bayern Munich are preparing to open talks over a new contract for Michael Olise, despite the France attacking midfielder already being tied to the club until 2029. The 24-year-old’s outstanding opening to the season has made an improved agreement an increasingly important matter at the Allianz Arena.
What changed for Bayern
Olise has strengthened his position within Bayern’s plans through his production in the opening seven matches of the campaign, scoring eight times and supplying four assists.
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, a member of Bayern’s supervisory board, has indicated that the club intend to address the player’s long-term terms.
“Olise is contracted through to 2029,” Rummenigge said. “At some stage, the club must sit down with him and make an appropriate proposal. He is extraordinary in his role.”
Bayern are expected to begin discussions with Olise’s representatives soon, with a revised deal intended to recognise his growing importance and remove any future doubt over his situation in Munich.
Competition context
Olise joined Bayern from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2024 and has quickly become one of the side’s central attacking players. Across 114 appearances for the German club, he has produced 50 goals and 58 assists.
- Appearances for Bayern: 114
- Goals: 50
- Assists: 58
- Trophies won: two Bundesliga titles, two German Super Cups and one DFB-Pokal
His early-season return of eight goals and four assists in seven outings has intensified Bayern’s desire to secure his future beyond the terms of his existing contract.
What is scheduled next
No timetable for an agreement has been set, but Bayern plan to make contact with Olise’s camp in the near future. The immediate decision for the club is how to frame an offer that reflects the Frenchman’s current standing while retaining him in Munich for the longer term.
