Bayern Munich now ready to discuss nine-figure Michael Olise deal

Earlier this week it emerged that Real Madrid president Florentino Perez was preparing an offer for Michael Olise.

The Bayern Munich winger has grown to become one of the continent’s pre-eminent attackers and Madrid were reported to be ready to pay €160m for him in the off-season.

Olise, 24, has got 29 goal involvements in 24 Bundesliga games for Bayern this season and has also been linked as a potential Mohamed Salah successor at Liverpool.

The France international’s dribbling, playmaking and chance-creation abilities would all be very welcome at Anfield - but this won’t be an easy deal to do.

The left-footer is under contract at the Allianz Arena until 2029 - with Bayern readying an offer to extend.

But Liverpool now know that Olise is no longer untouchable.

Bayern ready to consider nine-figure Olise offer

Reliable Bayern reporter Christian Falk in Sport Bild writes that Vincent Kompany’s club would be obliged to discuss an offer for Olise which surpasses €100m.

So even if Madrid have the first shot at signing Olise - and fail to secure him - Liverpool will be ready with a follow-up attempt.

“Bayern Munich are not planning to sell Olise,” writes Falk.

“The Frenchman is under contract with the record champions until 2029 – and that isn't likely to change anytime soon. Bayern are under no obligation to sell him. Olise's contract contains no release clause.

“However, the club's management would have to consider a nine-figure offer. Whether Real Madrid will actually offer €160 million remains to be seen.”

Madrid would need to pay €160m - have they got it?

Madrid will need to beg, steal or borrow the €160m required to loosen Olise from Bavaria - because the latest indications are that they don’t have a lot of money to spend this summer.

Liverpool meanwhile are facing a major shakeup - and we could see Salah as well as Federico Chiesa leave as part of an attacking overhaul.

It remains to be seen what kind of budget Richard Hughes and Arne Slot will be working with this summer. We now know however that signing Olise is no longer impossible. And that is a wonderful starting point.
