Bayern Munich want to hand in-demand Michael Olise a lucrative new contract in order to fend off interest from the likes of Real Madrid and Liverpool. Olise, 24, is currently starring at the World Cup with France after a sensational season with Bayern in which he won the Bundesliga Player of the Year award.
But the winger's future remains uncertain, with Real said to be preparing a world-record bid worth £190million. Liverpool and Paris Saint-Germain have also been linked with the former Crystal Palace star, who left Selhurst Park in a deal worth up to £51m in July 2024.
The Frenchman put pen to paper on a contract which runs until 2029, but now Bayern want to extend his stay. Multiple reports claim that chiefs at the Allianz Arena are willing to over him a new five-year contract in order to secure his long-term future.
His salary would increase from £13m per season to an eye-watering £22m, crucially more than what he'd earn in Madrid. In addition, Bayern president Herbert Hainer insists that they won't listen to offers for Olise.
Hainer recently told Bild: "Michael Olise is a Bayern Munich player who still has a long-term contract - and we are not a club that sells players. If Florentino Perez wants to send us an offer - which hasn't happened yet - he can save himself the trouble."
Meanwhile, ex-Bayern chief Karl-Heinz Rummenigge claimed that the German giants wouldn't 'flinch' at any price tag. "Let me tell you a story from the past," Rummenigge began.
"In 2009, we had an incredible offer from Chelsea for Franck Ribery. At the time, it would have been a new world transfer record. I then went to our then CFO, Karl Hopfner, and Uli Hoeness with this offer.
"We discussed it for two hours, trying to figure out what to do with it. That day, we made a fundamental decision: that in the future, we would never sell a player we would miss on the pitch.

"And this unwritten rule still applies today. For a player like Olise, there's no price tag that would make us flinch."
Rummenigge went on to say of Olise: "He's a wonderful player. I also appreciate how reserved and almost media-shy he is. That's rare these days.
"He's a great guy, and on the pitch, he's outstanding, the way he plays football is almost magical. So it doesn't surprise me that he's incredibly popular and hyped among our fans"
Olise registered 15 goals and 21 assists in 32 league games for Bayern as they retained the Bundesliga title. The 24-year-old notched another two assists in France's 3-1 win against Senegal on Tuesday at the World Cup.
