Manchester City are monitoring Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, who is also wanted by Real Madrid and Liverpool, according to TEAMtalk.
The 23-year- old French international has been on a scintillating run in Germany since leaving Crystal Palace in 2024. He scored 20 goals and 23 assists in 55 games last season as Bayern won the Bundesliga.
This season he’s already got five goals and six assists in nine games across all competitions.
Guardiola sees Olise as an elite attacking addition to join the already stacked group of wingers at City.
Reportedly, Real Madrid see him as a one of the important figure in their Galacticos rebuild alongside Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham.
Liverpool interest reportedly mainly stems for natural long term replacement for Mohamed Salah.
Bayern are firm but interest is expected to intensify across Europe’s top clubs as the season goes on.
Bayern push for extension as rivals make big bids
According to the Bild, Bayern want to tie Olise down to a new contract until 2031 as interest grows from Liverpool, Manchester City and Real Madrid.
They are willing to increase his reportedly current £10m [$13.5m] a year salary which is significantly lower than Harry Kane’s £20m [$26.7m] a year at Bayern.
Sources say his current deal runs until 2029 but could include a clause that becomes active next summer which is why Bayern are in a hurry to tie him down.
A new contract would not only secure his long term future but also give Bayern leverage in negotiations when multiple Premier League clubs are prepared to break the bank for him.
