“Let me put it this way: by next summer, we should know whether there is a tendency on his part to extend his contract or not.” Max Eberl set the tone for Bayern München's latest update on Michael Olise. He also said the winger still has a three-year deal and stressed that there is no release clause.
Bayern's timeline on Olise
The message from Eberl is straightforward enough. Bayern want clarity by next summer on whether Olise is leaning towards an extension, and they are not dealing with a clause that would force their hand.
That leaves the club with time, and it leaves Olise in a strong contract position. One source says his deal runs to 2029, while Eberl framed it as three years left. Either way, Bayern are not under pressure to sell, and they have not given any sign that they expect a quick decision.
Eberl also said Olise had made “exceptional progress” and that Bayern would sit down at the appropriate time to discuss the next steps. That fits the club's current posture, which is calm rather than rushed.
Why the interest has not gone away
Real Madrid and Liverpool are still among the clubs linked with Olise, so this is not just a routine renewal story. His early output also explains why Bayern are content to wait. He has two Bundesliga appearances, one goal, a 7.39 Bundesliga rating and 9 direct goal contributions across all competitions.
That is enough to make the winger feel like an asset Bayern would prefer to keep talking about rather than price up in public. Eberl's contact with him has also sounded normal, including the World Cup WhatsApp he described and the shirt-number chat that ended with Olise keeping 17 rather than taking 11.
For now, the important part is the timetable. Bayern expect to know by next summer whether Olise is inclined to extend, and the contract they are managing does not include a release clause.
