Bayern Munich set to keep Olise with record €200m release clause
Bayern Munich are reportedly prepared to break with tradition by inserting a €200 million release clause into Michael Olise’s proposed new contract to fend off interest from Real Madrid.
Olise’s sparkling form for the France national team has reportedly prompted the German club to consider a major concession in negotiations over a contract extension.
The talented right-winger enjoyed a strong international break, delivering a series of impressive performances for France. According to the report, he recorded four goals and two assists in four matches.
The forward is now set to return to Germany ahead of the resumption of Bundesliga action this weekend.
The upcoming domestic fixtures will provide him with an opportunity to maintain his excellent form while contract negotiations continue behind the scenes.
Bayern are eager to secure a lucrative extension with the forward as quickly as possible.
According to Bild journalist Christian Falk, the club is now prepared to consider a specific demand from the player’s representatives concerning his future.
The report claims Bayern are willing to include a release clause in any new agreement, marking a significant departure from the club’s traditional reluctance to incorporate such provisions into players’ contracts.
The proposed clause is reportedly expected to be set at €200 million. The valuation would give Olise a defined, albeit expensive, route out of the Allianz Arena should he eventually decide to pursue a new challenge elsewhere.
Bayern are keen to protect their prized asset and secure the French international’s long-term future at the club.
The urgency surrounding the negotiations has been fuelled by persistent rumours last summer linking the winger with a high-profile move to Spanish giants Real Madrid.
Olise’s immediate focus is expected to remain on translating his impressive international form into consistent performances for Bayern.
Another strong showing in the Bundesliga would further strengthen his position as the contract discussions continue.
If both parties reach an agreement, the deal would represent a significant statement of intent from Bayern. The reported €200 million release clause would mean Real Madrid and any other interested clubs would have to pay a substantial fee to prise the winger away from Munich.
