Dreesen confirms Olise is a Bayern priority, but no rush to extend

Bayern Munich feels no pressure to extend Michael Olise. During the press conference dedicated to Harry Kane’s contract extension, board president Jan-Christian Dreesen clearly positioned the matter: important, but not urgent.

When directly asked about the future of the French international, Dreesen recalled the terms of his current contract before evoking a possible discussion. “His contract runs until 2029, and we will sit down to discuss things at the right time,” he said, clarifying that he shares this responsibility with sporting director Max Eberl.

Since arriving in Bavaria, Olise has established himself as a regular starter and one of the most influential attacking elements in the squad. This rise in prominence explains why his name naturally emerged in the wake of Kane’s extension, another cornerstone of Munich’s attack.

But Bayern is in no rush. Tied to the club until June 2029, the former Crystal Palace player still has four years left on his contract. The Bavarian executives therefore have no reason to rush negotiations, and Dreesen confirmed it unambiguously: the priority at the moment was Kane, Olise will wait for the right moment.

The message sent to the player and his entourage remains nonetheless positive: the club considers him a major asset long-term, just like its English striker. The question of an extension is not ruled out, simply deferred.
