We would be Union Saint-Gillouse, our legs would shake a little thinking about the match this Wednesday evening. The Belgian club is traveling to Bayern Munich, and that is scary. The last club to go there took 8 (Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga). The Munich club is full of confidence, like its French attacking midfielder Michael Olise. He who was hardly known by the German public when he arrived in the summer of 2024 has become the darling of the Allianz Arena, which delights in his arabesques, his assists and his goals. Best passer in the Bundesliga and third top scorer, the Frenchman is enjoying himself in a totally dominating team.
And inevitably, each masterclass delivered by the former element of Crystal Palace accentuates the interest and curiosity of other clubs. A few weeks ago, the magazine Kicker already assured that PSG and English teams were preparing offers exceeding €100 million for next summer. Bayern Munich has time to see it coming, one might think, since the player is under contract until 2029. But faced with the growing interest and the player’s performance, the managers have decided to take action.
Bayern don’t want to waste time
According to Sports Bildthe Bavarian management wishes to extend the contract of Michael Olise as quickly as possible. With probably an increase in value, since he currently has the 8th salary in the squad, alongside Kim Min-Jae or Jonathan Tah, well behind Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala. Bayern want to achieve their goals before the next World Cup, where Michael Olise’s rating could climb even higher.
Recruited for €53 million by Bayern, against the advice of certain club managers, he is currently estimated by Transfermarkt at €130 million! Sports director Max Eberl must be rubbing his hands at his purchase, he who insisted on recruiting the Frenchman. Bayern Munich is convinced of holding its offensive nugget for many years to come, and wants to do everything to keep it. It will be difficult to dislodge him this summer…
