Bayern Munich News: PSG, Real Madrid using intermediaries to chat with FC Bayern’s Michael Olise; Bayern eyeing Brentford’s Kevin Schade?; and MORE!
The FC Bayern star has some deep-pocketed suitors in Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
Ask a Bayern Munich executive or management figure about French mega-star Michael Olise and he will tell you that the winger is not for sale.
Chief executive officer Jan-Christian Dreesen, president Herbert Hainer, board member for sport Max Eberl, sporting director Christoph Freund, and supervisory board member Uli Hoeneß will all give you the same story. One thing that none of them can be completely certain of, however, is the future.
As for that, Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly trying to make headway. In this report, the duo is allegedly working through intermediaries to see if a deal can get done at some point:
Following his outstanding performances for FC Bayern Munich and the French national team at the 2026 World Cup, Michael Olise remains on the wish lists of top European clubs. The 24-year-old right winger is one of the key players in Bayern's attack. His contract with the German record champions runs until June 30, 2029. With his strong start to the 2026/27 season, Olise has further cemented his status as a highly sought-after transfer target. Olise's rapid development and consistently strong performances have attracted the attention of Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid in particular. According to information from fussball-news.de, both European powerhouses are closely monitoring his progress and are considering high-caliber reinforcements for the right wing and attacking positions. Initial exploratory talks and informal contacts via intermediaries have reportedly already taken place to assess the financial parameters of a potential transfer. However, formal negotiations between the clubs are not yet underway. Bayern Munich generally intend to block any potential offers during the winter transfer window. However, an exceptionally high offer could at least prompt the club to consider it. According to sources, Bayern Munich values Olise at between €200 and €230 million. The salary issue could also play a crucial role in his future. Olise is reportedly seeking to align his wages with top earners Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala. A salary package of around €25 million per year is being discussed. Therefore, it could be decisive whether Bayern Munich can reconcile their wage structure with the player's demands. Scouts from PSG and Real Madrid are expected to continue closely monitoring Olise in the coming months. Should the financial expectations of the parties involved converge, the Bayern star's future could become one of the major topics of the 2027 winter transfer window.

Surely, Bayern Munich is not contemplating a sale in January (literally, there is zero chance of this happening). It is even extremely doubtful that the club would ponder a move next summer (2027). Where this could get interesting is if Olise tells the club that he is not going to extend his contract when it ends (2029) or if he says he wants out. To date, neither of those things has happened.
The noise is becoming very loud, but Bayern Munich is content to put on its headphones and not worry about this until it has to. Exactly when the matter will need to be addressed remains to be seen.
Former Hamburger SV prospect Mikael Baza has inked a deal with FC Barcelona. Why is that relevant? Baza is the younger cousin of Bayern Munich center-back Jonathan Tah:
Baza is…16! Kid looks like he is 12! Wow. Good for him. He will appreciate his youth appearance when he gets older.
Arsenal reportedly lobbed in a question to Brentford to see if German winger Kevin Schade was available during the summer transfer window. Interestingly, Bayern Munich is also listed as an "admirer" of Schade:
Arsenal made an inquiry about Brentford winger Kevin Schade during the summer transfer window, according to TEAMtalk. The German international emerged as a potential option for the Gunners as they looked to strengthen their attack, but Brentford refused to engage in talks. The Bees reportedly would not have considered even a club-record offer exceeding the £70 million received for Bryan Mbeumo, prompting Arsenal to turn their attention to other targets. Bayern Munich are also admirers of the 24-year-old.
Schade has been linked to Bayern Munich in the past, but there could be a need for a backup to Luis Díaz very soon. Would Bayern Munich pull what could be an expensive trigger?
You can add Everton to the list of teams that has toyed with the idea of adding Bayern Munich right-back Sacha Boey:
There was interest in Sacha Boey from Hamburg and Fulham. But I can tell you that the most concrete interest came from Everton! Everton were really close. There were talks with the side of Bayern Munich, with Max Eberl, but in the end, the Toffees decided for Ainsley Maitland-Niles from Lille on deadline day. This was hard for Bayern Munich, as they really thought they could offload the player. So, Bayern Munich now have to look and see if there's an opportunity to move the player on to a club in Turkey or Saudi Arabia, where the transfer market still remains open (until Friday). But Everton would have been the big hope for FC Bayern in terms of getting a deal for Boey. In the end, the deal was off.

Manchester United is not giving up on the idea of getting Newcastle United left-back Lewis Hall:
Man United remain interested in signing Lewis Hall next year after missing out on a deal in the recent window, sources have told Football Insider. Michael Carrick identified left-back as a priority position to bolster ahead of the recently-shut summer transfer window.

Paris Saint-Germain announced a slew of extensions on Friday, but still has — at least — one more that it wants to complete with Ousmane Dembélé:
🚨 Excl. – #PSG are planning Ousmane #Dembelè's contract extension until 2031. #transfers
