Michael Olise has had a spectacular start to the season with Bayern Munich. With already eight goals and three assists in seven matches in all competitions, the Frenchman has quickly established himself as one of the strong men of the Bavarian team alongside Harry Kane. A form that he also confirmed with the Blues, since he delivered the decisive pass to Kylian Mbappé during the victory against Turkey (0-1). Obviously, while Olise continues to gain momentum in the run-up to the 2026 Ballon d’Or, his future is being talked about more, he who is linked to Bayern until 2029.

Asked by AbendzeitungKarl-Heinz Rummenigge was invited to discuss the Frenchman’s situation, in particular his discretion in the media and the issues linked to his future. The former Bavarian leader was particularly complimentary: “I much prefer that a player gives the best of himself in his profession – in this case on the pitch – rather than in interviews. In my opinion, certain media have made a whole campaign out of it. I don’t think he’s contractually obligated to give detailed interviews. » Before adding on his importance to Bayern: “Olise is still under contract until 2029. At some point we will have to discuss with him and make him an offer accordingly. He is exceptional in his position. There are two top players in this position: him and Lamine Yamal. Olise’s game is even more accomplished at the moment. Besides, Olise and Harry are my family’s favorite stars. All my grandchildren wear Olise or Kane jerseys. »
