Bayern Munich have put a price on Michael Olise that would make him the most expensive player in football history, while pushing to keep the French winger in Munich beyond 2029.
According to AS, a bid of around €200 million could bring Bayern to the negotiating table, but the club value Olise at €300 million and would want that figure to sanction his departure.
A deal at that price would eclipse the world transfer record by €78 million. Neymar has held the record since the summer of 2017, when Paris Saint-Germain paid €222 million to sign him from Barcelona.
Olise is under contract until 30 June 2029. Bayern signed him from Crystal Palace for around €53 million in the summer of 2024 and are now looking to extend the deal of a player who has become central to Vincent Kompany’s attack.
“We’d like to keep working with Michael for a long time, and we hope to extend his contract beyond 2029,” Bayern sporting director Max Eberl told DAZN.
Olise has been linked with Real Madrid since last spring, and that interest intensified after he impressed against the Spanish side at the Santiago Bernabéu in the Champions League. Madrid president Florentino Pérez is reportedly particularly keen to bring the 24-year-old to the Spanish capital.
The winger has scored 12 goals and provided six assists in 15 appearances for Bayern across all competitions this season. He was named Bundesliga Player of the Season last term after recording 15 goals and 19 assists in the league.
Olise also shone for France at the 2026 World Cup, equalling the record for assists at a single edition with seven. He helped Les Bleus reach the semi-finals and was named in the team of the tournament.
