Michael Olise is getting everyone to agree, and not just in Munich. Author of a particularly convincing international break with the France team, the Bayern winger confirms week after week that he now belongs to the very highest level. His performances with the Blues have further strengthened his status and, inevitably, attracted more attention to his future. Because behind the smiles and the XXL performances, a question is seriously starting to worry the Bavarian leaders: will Michael Olise still be at Bayern in the coming years? According to recent information released by Sports Bildno real exchange has yet started regarding an extension and above all, the Frenchman has still not made it clear whether he wishes to continue his adventure in Bavaria.
A situation which is starting to give rise to some internal concern. The problem is all the more serious as Bayern knows that it will have to take out the checkbook to keep its jewel. Indeed, the Munich leaders would be ready to offer him an XXL contract that could last until 2032, with a salary that would place Olise among the best-paid players at the club. But the Frenchman would also have a very specific requirement: to have a release clause in his future contract. A request which is particularly reminiscent of his time at Crystal Palace and which is not insignificant, since several locker room executives, such as Harry Kane or Jamal Musiala, also benefit from this type of mechanism.
A problematic clause
For Bayern, accepting this condition would therefore mean taking the risk of losing its phenomenon more easily in the future. And it is precisely this uncertainty that is starting to make leaders panic. According to information from the German media, Bayern is already preparing for negotiations “very, very difficult”even though they have not really started. Max Eberl would also have set a “soft ultimatum” in Olise, asking the principal concerned to position themselves by next summer. A clear message at a time when Olise is performing at a high level and seeing his sporting value and his negotiating power increase. Author of a new successful international truce, the native of London remains, in fact, in a position of strength regarding discussions around his future.
You will have understood, Bayern is not yet in a crisis situation but the alarm signal is indeed on. Olise has become an essential part of the Bavarian project and no one internally wants to imagine a future without him. However, as long as the Frenchman has not given a guarantee on his intentions, doubt will continue to hover over the Allianz Arena. Bayern must now move forward with caution, find the sporting and financial arguments capable of convincing their winger and, above all, prevent this issue from becoming an endless soap opera. Because one thing is certain: after having impressed with France, Michael Olise now has even more weight in this standoff. And this is what worries Bayern the most.
