Bayern Munich has firmly decided not to sell Michael Olise to Liverpool, despite substantial interest and a reported offer of €170 million (£147 million) from the Premier League club. This decision comes as Liverpool looks for a replacement for the departing Mohamed Salah, who is expected to leave at the end of the current season.
Bayern Munich’s Stance on Michael Olise
Michael Olise, once a standout performer at Crystal Palace, joined Bayern in the summer of 2024 for £50 million. Since then, the 24-year-old winger has significantly enhanced his performance, tallying 42 goals and 53 assists in 106 appearances for the team. He has played a key role in securing back-to-back Bundesliga titles for Bayern under manager Vincent Kompany.
Contractual Commitment
Olise remains under contract with Bayern until the summer of 2029. According to German journalist Christian Falk, there is no possibility of the club considering a sale this summer. Reports in Spanish media suggesting Liverpool might bid €170 million have been dismissed by Falk, stating that Bayern’s stance is clear: Olise is not for sale.
Support from Bayern Officials
Bayern Munich’s president, Herbert Hainer, has publicly expressed the club’s intention to retain Olise. In comments to Bild, he emphasized Olise’s development within a top-tier team and the benefits of being part of Bayern’s strong attacking unit.
- Contract Duration: Until Summer 2029
- Goals and Assists: 42 goals and 53 assists in 106 matches
- Bundesliga Titles: Back-to-back championships
Manager’s Praise
Vincent Kompany has also praised Olise’s capabilities. He noted that Olise operates at a high level in the Champions League, suggesting that the young winger is on a trajectory to become one of the best players in the world.
As Bayern shifts their focus on maintaining their squad, it appears Michael Olise will remain an integral part of their plans for the foreseeable future.
