Bayern shuts the door on Olise

Michael Olise, a 24-year-old French winger, is not in the departure plans of Bayern Munich despite being a target for Real Madrid during the summer. Max Eberl has ruled out the player requesting a transfer, and the German club is supported by a contract until June 30, 2029, which also does not include a release clause.

Bayern's stance minimizes any possibility of a short-term deal. Olise still has three seasons ahead after the current one, and his continuity does not hinge on a set amount another club could pay to release him.

Michael Olise Never Asked to Leave Bayern

According to Sports BILD, rumors about Real Madrid reached the German champion's sports management, yet Max Eberl explained that neither the player nor his representatives conveyed any intention of seeking a new destination during the transfer window.

Even Olise's only message during the World Cup was unrelated to a potential transfer. Olise contacted Eberl from the United States alongside Manu Koné, a player the executive had previously brought to Borussia Mönchengladbach.

There was even a conversation about the shirt number for this season. The club proposed to Michael Olise the option of using the 11, but the player chose to keep the 17 he already wore in Munich.

His sporting weight also explains the club's position. In the 2025/26 Bundesliga season, Olise played 32 matches, scored 15 goals, and provided 19 assists, totaling 34 direct goal contributions in the German championship.

Bayern Munich Seeks to Negotiate a Renewal

The next move leans towards an extension rather than a sale. Michael Olise is contracted until 2029, yet the sports management intends to learn before next summer if the player is willing to extend his bond.

The absence of a release clause particularly reinforces Bayern Munich's position. Any interested club would have to negotiate directly with the German entity, which currently has no plans to facilitate his departure.

Olise arrived in Munich in July 2024 from Crystal Palace and has primarily settled on the right side of the attack. In the past season, he was also named the Bundesliga's player of the year after his 15 goals and 19 assists.

The Frenchman also had a role with his national team in the 2026 World Cup, providing seven assists before France ended its participation in the semifinals. His performance has increased his significance both in the club and the national team.

Max Eberl Sets Next Summer as Deadline

Therefore, the situation is now conditioned by the forthcoming discussions in the coming months. The club does not need to sell, and there is no clause that could exclude them from negotiation.

The next step with Michael Olise will be to determine his stance on a renewal before 2027 summer. Until then, any renewed interest from Real Madrid or another club will face a clear challenge: Bayern controls his contract until 2029 and does not plan to open the door.
