"Olise is under contract until 2029. At some point, the club will have to sit down with him and present a suitable offer. He is exceptional in his position," Karl-Heinz Rummenigge told goal.com. That line now sits alongside the numbers Michael Olise is putting up for Bayern München: 12 direct goal contributions in just seven matches this season, split between eight goals and four assists.

Bayern's case for a new deal

Rummenigge's point is hard to ignore because Olise is not just producing in bursts. He has already made 114 appearances for Bayern, scoring 50 goals and providing 58 assists, and the club have won three trophies during his time there, two Bundesliga titles, two German Super Cups and one DFB-Pokal.

The current push is not just about rewarding form. Reports say Bayern want to extend his deal through to 2032, while Olise's representatives are seeking a release clause of around £170m. TEAMtalk have also reported that a clause above €200m is considered realistic. That is the negotiation Bayern are walking into now.

The transfer interest around him

Outside interest is part of the urgency. TEAMtalk reported that Liverpool wanted Olise as a replacement for Mohamed Salah on the right wing in the summer of 2026, and that Real Madrid had been blocked from making a move because there was no exit clause in his current contract.

That explains why Bayern are pushing from their side before this gets any bigger. Olise's 7.91 Bundesliga rating underlines how strong his league form has been, and his 9.66 Champions League rating suggests the level is carrying into Europe too. The club are not dealing with a player drifting through a good run, they are dealing with one of their main attacking weapons hitting a very high level early in the season.

Bayern already have Rummenigge's public warning out there, and the next step is the sit-down he described. With Olise under contract until 2029, the talks now revolve around what kind of new offer Bayern are ready to make and how large a clause they are willing to accept.
