The final international break of the season is dominated by transfer rumours since the summer window is just around the corner. Bayern Munich chiefs have also started working on plans for the summer, but they also have to rebuff interest from European rivals in their key players.
Michael Olise falls into the list of Bayern players who are attracting interest due to his stellar performances this season. RMC has reported this week that Olise is wanted by several clubs in the summer. With Mohamed Salah announcing his departure from Liverpool, there will be more speculation around Olise’s future since the Merseyside club is a long-term admirer of the French winger.
Bayern have no plans to part ways with Olise anytime soon. They are not going to entertain bids for one of their best players. According to SportBild, Olise is also content with life in Munich as the club competes on all fronts this season.
The club chiefs have consistently insisted Olise is part of Bayern’s long-term plans. While talking to SportBild, Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen insisted that regardless of which club tries to sign him, Olise will stay in Munich next season.

Olise had a stellar debut season in Munich after arriving from Crystal Palace in 2024. He has gone to the next level this season, contributing with 16 goals and 22 assists across all competitions. The French forward can definitely end the season with 50 goal contributions.
Real Madrid also show interest in Olise
SportBild has reported that Real Madrid are also paying close attention to Olise’s performances at Bayern. The Spanish club is expected to sign a forward in the summer, but Die Roten will resist any approaches for Olise.
The record Bundesliga champions should look to open contract talks with Olise. The French forward’s current deal at Bayern expires in 2029. Die Roten should try to extend his contract by two more years to ensure they pour cold water on the ongoing speculation.
From Olise’s perspective, he has everything needed to succeed in Munich. He has a coach who is getting the best out of him. Bayern are competing for several trophies, and Olise gets the opportunity to play with world-class players.
As long as Olise continues to excel in Bavaria, there will be speculation. It is up to Bayern to reduce this noise and be proactive with contract negotiations for a player who can be part of their long-term future.
