Bayern Munich want to hand in-demand Michael Oliseh a lucrative new contract to fend off interest from the likes of Real Madrid and Liverpool. Olise, 24, is currently playing for France at the World Cup after a sensational season with Bayern that saw him win the Bundesliga Player of the Year award.
However, the winger’s future remains uncertain, with Real said to be preparing a world record bid worth £190m. Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with the former Crystal Palace star, who left Selhurst Park in July 2024 in a deal worth up to £51 million.
The Frenchman has put pen to paper on a contract until 2029, but now Bayern want to extend his stay. According to reports, Allianz Arena bosses are willing to sign him to a new five-year contract to secure his long-term future.
His annual salary has increased from £13m per season to an eye-watering £22m, which is decisively more than he earns at Madrid. Bayern president Herbert Hainer has insisted that he will not listen to offers for Olise.

Heiner recently told Bild: “Michael Olise is a Bayern Munich player who still has a long-term contract, but we are not a club that sells players. If Florentino Perez wants to make us an offer – which hasn’t happened yet – he can save himself trouble.”
Meanwhile, former Bayern manager Karl-Heinz Rummenigge insisted the German giants would “not budge” no matter the price. “Let’s talk about the past,” Rummenigge began.
“In 2009, we received an incredible offer from Chelsea for Franck Ribery, which at the time would have been a new world transfer record. I then passed this offer on to our then CFO Karl Hopfner and Uli Hoeneß.
“We talked about it for two hours and thought about what to do. That day, we made a fundamental decision: We would never sell a player who didn’t want to be on the pitch again.”

“And this unspoken rule still applies. For a player like Oliseh, there is no price tag that will daunt us.”
Rummenigge went on to say of Olise: “He’s a great player. I also understand how reserved and almost media-shy he is, which is rare these days.”
“He’s a great guy, outstanding on the pitch and the way he plays football is like magic. So it’s no wonder he’s incredibly popular and hyped among our fans.”
Olise played in 32 league games for Bayern, scoring 15 goals and providing 21 assists as they retained their Bundesliga title. The 24-year-old provided a further two assists in France’s 3-1 win over Senegal at the World Cup on Tuesday.
