Michael Olise, a 24-year-old forward, is conditioning the scenario that the Bayern transfer market is handling with Florian Wirtz for next summer. The Frenchman is under contract until 2029 and Bayern currently does not consider selling him, but a potential failure to extend that bond could open the door to the Liverpool player.

The information comes from Christian Falk, head of football at BILD, who sees Wirtz as a future option rather than an ongoing operation. Bayern is not in talks with Liverpool for the German international, and there is no agreement for his return to the Bundesliga.

The scenario depends on what happens with Olise in the coming months. Bayern wants to know next summer if the Frenchman is willing to extend his contract beyond June 2029, after Jan-Christian Dreesen confirmed in August that there were no negotiations yet to renew it.

Bayern's current stance is to keep the player. Olise also does not have a known release clause, and his departure next summer is not part of the club's current plans, according to reports on his situation.

His numbers illustrate his importance in planning. In the 2025/26 Bundesliga season, Olise ended with 15 goals and 19 assists in 32 games, earning him the award for the competition's best player.

Moreover, the start of the 2026/27 season sees the Frenchman as a key figure. After the first four Bundesliga matchdays, he had scored 4 goals, including a hat-trick against Union Berlin.

Florian Wirtz is not a January operation

Therefore, Florian Wirtz's name is potentially tied to Olise's eventual departure rather than an immediate need for Bayern. Falk virtually rules out a deal during the winter transfer window due to the player's cost and Liverpool's lack of willingness to sell him.

Wirtz joined Liverpool from Bayer Leverkusen in June 2025, in a transfer that could reach 136 million euros according to the Premier League and the disclosed variables around the deal. The German then signed a long-term contract with the English club.

His first season in England included moments of offensive output. In January 2026, for instance, he was named Liverpool's Player of the Month after featuring in 9 games, contributing 5 goals and 2 assists during that period.

The start of the 2026/27 campaign has sparked more discussion about his performance, but Liverpool has not indicated to Bayern any intention to part ways with the German mid-season. Therefore, the January scenario remains closed, and any potential move would be postponed to summer.

The next decision point will be summer 2027, where Bayern will need to learn Michael Olise's response regarding his contract's future. Only if the Frenchman does not extend his bond and a negotiated exit arises would it make sense to consider Florian Wirtz as an alternative; until then, there are no ongoing talks with Liverpool.
