"I think on the island, they see what a big player Michael Olise is. When Bayern Munich triggered his release clause at Crystal Palace, there was just Newcastle involved in the poker with Bayern Munich, so they could make it work. I think if, at that point, Liverpool or City had also been at the table, it would have been really more complicated."
"And because Bayern bought the player for 60m [52.3m] from Crystal Palace, if an interested party pays a price over the 100m [87.2m] mark Bayern Munich have to think about it. But they want to keep him, and now they're trying to give him a new contract so that they don't lose him. It will be interesting to see whether Olise returns to the Premier League in 2026."
Liverpool broke the British transfer record twice in the 2025 summer window and may spend heavily again in 2026. The club is preparing to sign a Mohamed Salah successor and has identified Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise as a primary target. Manchester City are also monitoring Olise. Bayern purchased Olise from Crystal Palace for 60m [52.3m] and could consider offers above the 100m [87.2m] mark, but the club aims to retain him and is pursuing a new contract. Olise has delivered strong early performances at Bayern and is regarded as a creative team leader.
