Bayern Munich considers release clause for Michael Olise

Bayern Munich is considering a strategic shift regarding the contract of French winger Michael Olise. While the club has traditionally avoided release clauses, reports suggest they may include one in a potential contract extension to protect the player from interest by major European clubs like Liverpool and Real Madrid.

Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has clarified that the club received no official offers for Olise during the recent summer window, emphasizing his importance to the squad. However, the club is reportedly working on a new deal that could extend his stay until 2031, potentially offering a significant salary increase to match top earners like Harry Kane.

Speculation regarding the release clause suggests it could range between €160 million and €250 million, with some reports indicating Bayern would not accept anything below €180 million. Liverpool has been identified as a primary competitor for the player's signature, viewing him as a potential successor to Mohamed Salah.
