Michael Olise’s future at Bayern Munich is becoming one of the most intriguing transfer stories in European football, and Liverpool could be watching closely.
The French winger has continued to elevate his game since leaving Crystal Palace for Bayern in 2024. He signed a contract running until June 2029, but Bayern are already exploring ways to keep him in Munich for even longer. (FC Bayern)
According to reports from BILD and SPORT BILD, Bayern are preparing to open discussions over a new deal that could potentially run until 2032. The club is also reportedly considering placing Olise among its highest earners if he agrees to extend. (BILD)
And there is a reason Bayern are so determined.
Olise has quickly become one of their most important attacking players. He primarily operates from the right wing, where his left foot, dribbling, creativity and ability to provide goals and assists have made him a major threat. Bayern say he was voted their Player of the Season in both his first and second campaigns, while he was also named Bundesliga Player of the Season for 2025/26. (FC Bayern)
His rise has also continued internationally. Olise was recognised by the French players’ union as the best French footballer playing outside France in 2026, beating competition that included Kylian Mbappé. (FC Bayern)
Liverpool Still Have a Reason to Watch Closely
Liverpool have previously been linked with Olise, and his profile naturally makes him an interesting long-term option for the club’s attack.
His ability to play from the right side would make him particularly relevant given Liverpool’s need to plan for the future of their wide attacking positions. But any potential move would now face a major obstacle if Bayern succeed in tying him down until 2032. 👀
SPORT BILD reports that Liverpool and Real Madrid remain interested in Olise, while Bayern are preparing for potentially difficult negotiations over his future. The report also claims that a future release figure could be discussed as part of any new contract. (Sport Bild)
Bayern Know They Have a Special Player

Now Bayern appear determined to make sure that if another European giant eventually comes calling, the club will have maximum control over the situation.
For Liverpool, this could turn into a waiting game.
Olise is only 24, already established at Bayern and increasingly important for France. If he signs a long-term extension, any future attempt to bring him back to the Premier League could become significantly more complicated.
The message from Munich is becoming clear: Bayern want Michael Olise to stay.
And if Liverpool genuinely see him as a potential long-term attacking target, the next stage of this contract battle could be one to watch very closely.
