Bayern Munich are not anticipating Michael Olise to ask for a move away from the Allianz Arena. According to Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg, informal contacts between the club and the France international’s representatives have already begun. Official contract talks have not opened yet, but the direction of travel is a long extension rather than an exit.
Olise is tied to Bayern until 2029. The club have used those informal exchanges to make clear they see the 25-year-old as central to their long-term plan, and Plettenberg has confirmed that no transfer request has been submitted by either the player or his agent.
The winger has been one of Bayern’s most productive attackers since arriving from Crystal Palace in 2024.
No letter, no fax, no call
The latest report fits a pattern Bayern’s leadership has pressed in public for months. Chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen was blunt back in late July, telling Kicker there had been no approach of any kind from Madrid.

“We have received no letter, no fax and no call from Real Madrid,” Dreesen said.
President Herbert Hainer has reinforced that line, telling beIN Sports that the club do not operate under financial pressure.
“I am convinced that Bayern are a club that are not forced to sell players,” he said.
€165m talk and a quiet summer
The Plettenberg update lands months after a summer when Real Madrid were reportedly prepared to go as high as €165m for Olise, according to Goal. That fee never translated into a formal bid, and Plettenberg has previously reported that Florentino Pérez had promised Bayern not to pursue the player last summer.

Sporting director Max Eberl, speaking to Sky Germany earlier this year, said Olise feels at home in Munich and dismissed any idea of a sale with a terse “no, relatively simple: no”.
With Olise under contract until 2029 and informal talks already underway, Bayern’s next concrete step is to open formal negotiations on an extended deal.
