Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has clarified that there are currently no contract talks with Michael Olise. The 24-year-old attacker, who was named Man of the Match in the Bundesliga opener against Stuttgart, is under contract until 2029.
This information was reported by Bild Sport over the weekend following the 5:1 opening victory. Dreesen, the 58-year-old chairman of the record champions, appeared relaxed about the situation. "Aktuell gibt es keine Gespräche. Michael hat noch Vertrag bis 2029." Dreesen said.
How did Olise perform against Stuttgart?
Michael Olise demonstrated in Friday evening's Bundesliga match against VfB Stuttgart why he is among the most valuable players in coach Vincent Kompany's squad. In the 55th minute, he scored the 2:1 following an assist from Joshua Kimmich and played a key role in the clear 5:1 victory. For this performance, he received the top grade of 1 from Bild newspaper and was named Man of the Match.
The Frenchman has already played 109 games for Bayern since his transfer and has developed into a firm fixture in the team. His strong tournament at the World Cup for France underlined his international class. Kompany, the 40-year-old coach, is seen as a very important factor for Olise's further development into a world star.
What does the contract until 2029 mean?
The duration of his current contract provides the club with planning security. Bayern can continue to offer the player major title chances in Europe and is relaxed about rumours of a transfer to Real Madrid. According to Bild Sport information, there were first approaches for an extension as early as autumn 2025. Serious negotiations, however, have not yet taken place.
A new contract for Olise would primarily be about the financial component. The forward wants to move into the salary bracket of top earners Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala. His target is reportedly an annual salary of at least 25 million euros. The topic could gain momentum in the coming months, as the club wants to keep the player long-term.

Both sides are optimistic. Kane himself commented on the situation saying, "Es sieht ziemlich gut aus!" A quick agreement would be beneficial for planning the coming season. The current league standings can be followed at standings.
