Michael Olise just torched the Bundesliga opener for FC Bayern, bagging a silky goal against VfB Stuttgart that helped seal a dominant 5-1 win, with another slick finish controversially wiped by a narrow offside ruling. But get this: Bayern CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen says the club is “not currently in [contract] talks” with their red-hot attacker. Seriously? After that performance? It makes you wonder what they’re thinking.
This Dude Is Untouchable Right Now
Let’s be real, Olise is picking up exactly where he left off. He’s been a key man for Vincent Kompany, a vital part of a formidable, multi-faceted attack. This dude is 24, almost 25 this season, and he’s not just good, he’s *explosive*. We’re talking two insane breakout seasons at Bayern, a sensational World Cup with France, and now he’s kicking off another league campaign with a goal that restored Bayern’s lead after it had just slipped away. His value? It’s gone stratospheric, way beyond the €60M they paid Crystal Palace to bring him to Germany. Basically, he’s already outgrown that initial contract, and every major club on the planet should be lining up for this guy, no joke.
Bayern’s Risky Contract Stance Has Everyone Talking
So, after Olise does what he does, Dreesen drops the bombshell. He told Sky Germany journalist Kerry Hau that the club is “not currently in [contract] talks” and there’s “no reason to rush into anything” because Olise is under contract until 2029. Dreesen says it like it’s a casual thing, but come on, is that really smart? He’s saying there’s “no reason to rush” while Olise is dropping masterclasses and proving he’s one of the best footballers in the world. Yeah, sure, Bayern has a few options in attack, especially if Lennart Karl continues his emergence this season, but let’s be brutally honest: nobody else in that rotation is touching what Olise brings right now. That kind of talent is irreplaceable.
This isn’t just about another goal in a 5-1 runaway winner, this is about holding onto a generational talent. Can Bayern *really* afford to be this chill with Olise when his value has skyrocketed and every big club in the world is watching? If Bayern doesn’t lock him down soon, it’s not going to be a casual chat to extend, it’s going to be a full-blown battle to keep him from walking. You gotta wonder if this “no rush” approach is a calculated gamble or just plain naive. Get ready, because if they don’t move, this saga is only just beginning.
