Michael Olise has taken his game to a whole new level after he moved to Bayern Munich from Crystal Palace last summer.
After a phenomenal debut season, several heavyweight clubs, including Liverpool and Real Madrid, are reportedly vying for his signature.
However, Bayern are hopeful that they will be able to retain the services of their star player for many years to come.
Liverpool among clubs in hunt for Olise?
A host of Premier League clubs, including Liverpool, Chelsea, and Manchester City, have been linked with a move for Olise for some time now. La Liga giants Real Madrid are also thought to be keen to sign him.
Liverpool could be looking to sign a left-footed winger who operates from the right-hand side as a long-term replacement for club legend Mohamed Salah, if and when he leaves the club.
Olise scored 25 goals and provided 29 assists in 64 appearances in all competitions last season, and we feel that he has the potential to win the Ballon d’Or in the future.
The attacker has a contract in Munich until 2029, and it will require a substantial offer from Liverpool to lure him away from Germany.
Christoph Freund shares update on Michael Olise
Christian Falk suggested that Bayern are preparing to offer him a new contract until 2031, which will enable Olise to improve his salary.
This also shows how highly Vincent Kompany’s side values the former Crystal Palace attacker. He has been outstanding this season for the Bavarian giants, managing four goals and four assists in all competitions already.
Christoph Freund has told Sky 90 that Bayern are under no pressure to sell their prized asset, and that they expect him to stay at the club for long years.
He said (via MiaSanSia): “We’re not under any pressure. Michael has a long-term contract, he proved himself and took steps forward. We can imagine him playing for Bayern for the next 7, 8, 9 years.”
We do not expect interest from heavyweight clubs in Olise to die down any time soon, but a new contract should put an end to the wild speculation about his future.
