Bayern’s position has been reinforced by reports that the club are already working on improved contract terms for Olise. The France international is tied down on a long-term deal and the German champions are keen to reward his impact with enhanced wages and potentially an extended agreement, signalling confidence in his importance.
Falk has played down the likelihood of any breakthrough, stressing that Bayern view themselves as a buyer’s club rather than a selling one. With Olise and Harry Kane seen as indispensable, the message from Munich is that interest alone will not force a change in stance, regardless of the clubs involved.
He said: “Michael Olise is on the list of multiple European sides. Beyond Real Madrid we can also add Manchester City. Pep Guardiola, as we know, would be very happy to get this deal done. However, Bayern Munich are a buyer’s club, not a seller’s club. So, if they don’t want to sell – they won’t sell. And Olise is most certainly one talent they don’t want to sell. This season in particular has shown that both Harry Kane and Michael Olise are indispensable to the squad.
“He’s already got a long-term contract at the Allianz Arena, and don’t forget that Bayern Munich are already working hard on giving him more money with an updated contract (including one year more). So, at the moment, this means no chance for Real Madrid, Liverpool, Manchester City, Chelsea, and we can add many more to this list.”
