AS: Olise to meet Bayern to discuss future, wants increased role and wage hike

Olise Demands Meeting with Bayern Officials to Clarify Future, Real Madrid Denies Contact.

According to a report by AS two weeks ago, and now confirmed by German media, Olise has requested a meeting with Bayern management to clear up doubts and clarify his role in the team. At the World Cup, Olise played away from the wing, acting as an attacking midfielder, but his performance subsequently declined, and he was completely lost against Spain. Nevertheless, the forward continues to attract the attention of major European powerhouses, so the outcome of his meeting with Bayern officials is highly anticipated—Bayern is confident in persuading the French international to stay.

Real Madrid has publicly stated, disassociating itself from any rumors concerning Olise. Currently, the keys to both the problem and the solution are in Bayern's hands: should they renew his contract and improve his terms, changing his status within the team to recognize his excellent performance this season as a World Cup international? Or do they have other plans?

AS previously reported Olise's request for a meeting with club officials. The actions he might take could trigger a chain reaction among other waiting teams. In any case, if Olise leaves, the transfer fee could be a record-breaker or close to the price paid when Neymar transferred to Paris. At that time, Paris paid 221 million euros to activate Neymar's release clause. Although the World Cup did not directly increase his value, it must be admitted that this Bayern player is currently still among the most valuable in European football.
