Bayern Munich targets Olise extension ahead of Bundesliga opener
Bayern Munich is preparing to defend its Bundesliga title, starting the 2026/27 season with a match against Stuttgart at the Allianz Arena. The defending champions enter the campaign following a dominant previous season and a recent Supercup victory.
To secure its squad, Bayern Munich is working to extend the contract of Michael Olise. To ward off interest from clubs like Real Madrid, the club is considering a new deal that could make the 24-year-old one of its highest-paid players, potentially surpassing the current salary levels of Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala. The club aims to secure Olise's presence through 2031, potentially including a release clause to solidify his role as a central pillar of the team.
