Bayern Munich are prepared to reward Michael Olise with a contract extension just over a year after he arrived from Crystal Palace on a deal that runs until 2029. The Frenchman has been phenomenal ever since his switch to the Allianz Arena, and the Bavarian giants are reportedly adamant on wasting no time to tie down their superstar with a renewal.
Michael Olise is one of Karl-Heinz Rummenigge's favourite players ever, with the Bayern Munich sensation paired with club legends Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery and Luca Toni. Olise has become among the best players in the world since his sensational switch from Crystal Palace to Bavaria in 2024. A phenomenal debut season at the Allianz Arena was rewarded with a Ballon d'Or nomination this year.
The Ballon d'Or. Love it or loathe it, it's the award every footballer in the world dreams of one day winning. And now, after a memorable 2024-25 campaign, the winner of the 2025 Golden Ball has been announced: Ousmane Dembele.
Harry Kane and Michael Olise inspired Bayern Munich to a statement 3-1 win over Chelsea in the Champions League, with the Englishman netting twice and the latter dazzling throughout. German legend Didi Hamann hailed Vincent Kompany’s side for “passing with flying colours” as Bayern’s attacking depth shone against the Blues’ faltering defence in Allianz Arena.
France sealed a 2-0 victory over Ukraine but Didier Deschamps left the pitch with a bitter taste as the Ballon D'Or frontrunner, Ousmane Dembele, hobbled off with a hamstring injury. However, the winger's setback paved the way for Liverpool's Hugo Ekitike to make his international debut in Wraclow.
Liverpool could reportedly make a shock move for Harry Kane's Bayern team-mate as a potential successor to Mohamed Salah. At 33, the Egyptian king still reigns supreme at Anfield, smashing in 34 goals last season, firing the club to their historic 20th league title, and becoming the only player in history to win the PFA Players’ Player of the Year award three times. But time waits for no man.
