Bayern Munich are prepared to reward Michael Olise with a contract extension just over a year after he arrived from Crystal Palace on a deal that runs until 2029. The Frenchman has been phenomenal ever since his switch to the Allianz Arena, and the Bavarian giants are reportedly adamant on wasting no time to tie down their superstar with a renewal.
Bayern discuss Olise renewal
Bayern are extremely impressed with the performances of Olise, who made a sensational £52 million (€60m/$70m) switch from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2024. Although his deal runs through to 2029, the Bavarians have already begun discussions internally to reward the Frenchman with a new deal.

According to a report from , Bayern are keen on ensuring Olise commits his future to the club beyond 2029 by offering a new deal that will run longer. The report adds that while talks are yet to open between Bayern and Olise's entourage, the topic will most likely be discussed later during the ongoing season.
The right winger has been praised by sporting director Christoph Freund, who inadvertently fuelled transfer speculation by sidestepping a question about Olise's rumored exit clause during a press conference in August.
"Michael feels extremely comfortable in the group. It's just a good mix at the moment," Freund stated recently.
A 2026 departure ruled out?
The rumours of Olise having a 2026 exit clause in his current Bayern deal were followed by reports that Liverpool are eyeing the 23-year-old as the long-term successor to Mohamed Salah. Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester City have been linked, too. However, German media seemingly laid waste to those claims by suggesting that no such clauses exist in his contract. Bayern are determined to convince Olise that his long-term future lies in Munich.
