Frenchman Michael Olise, Bayern Munich's star, has once again caught Real Madrid's attention after setting a clear condition for the German club's management to agree to extend his contract in the coming period.
Olise is under contract with Bayern Munich until the summer of 2029, but the German club is currently seeking to extend the agreement for a longer period, given the player's outstanding performances since joining the team.
According to the German newspaper "Bild," Olise wants to include a release clause in his potential new contract with Bayern, giving him the opportunity to leave in the future if he receives an offer from a major club interested in his services.
This request comes at a time when Real Madrid is monitoring the player's situation, especially as the Spanish club was linked with a possible attempt to sign him during the last summer transfer window, before Olise remained with Bayern Munich.
Bayern's management had previously confirmed that Olise's current contract does not include a release clause, which gives the club full control over his future until 2029. However, the player's request to include an exit clause in the new contract could change the nature of negotiations between the two parties.
Olise has strong reasons to strengthen his position in the negotiations, having become one of the most prominent attacking elements in Bayern Munich's squad and continuing to deliver impressive performances with both the club and the French national team.
After the start of this season, the player scored 6 goals and provided 2 assists in 5 matches, confirming that his level is no longer just a fleeting moment of brilliance, but rather he has become one of the influential elements in the Bavarian team's attack.
Although Real Madrid denied any direct or indirect contact with the player or his representatives last June, Olise's situation remains of interest to the Royal Club, especially given his name's previous links to the Spanish club.
