Bayern eye Ballon d'Or bonus for Olise, but Eberl says no talks yet

📰 Reports say Bayern could even add a Ballon d'Or bonus to keep Michael Olise, but Max Eberl insists there have been no talks yet. 📌 Key points 🏆 Fabrizio Romano says Bayern are open to a bonus if Olise wins the Ballon d'Or. 💶 Sky report an offer to 2032 worth around €25m a year. 🗣️ Eberl: "Honestly, there have not been any talks at all yet." 🔓 Olise's camp reportedly want a release clause in any new deal. ⏳ Sport Bild say Bayern will sort Harry Kane's contract first. 📝 What happened 🏆 Transfer journalist Fabrizio Romano reported that Bayern are open to including a Ballon d'Or bonus in a new Olise contract. Sky Germany say the club intend to offer a deal to 2032 at around €25m a year. Olise currently earns around €14m and is contracted until 2029. 🗣️ Speaking to DAZN before the game at Augsburg on 10 October, sporting director Max Eberl said there had honestly been no talks at all yet, and that what was being reported had not happened. He added that Bayern want to work with Olise beyond 2029, ideally through an extension, but "there is also a third party". 🔓 According to GOAL, Olise's camp would only sign with a release clause. His current Bayern contract has none. Bayern signed him in 2024 by paying the €53m clause in his Crystal Palace deal. ⏳ Sport Bild report that Bayern will finalise Kane's contract, which runs out next summer, before turning fully to Olise. Real Madrid and PSG continue to be linked. 📊 By the numbers • Reported new salary: around €25m (currently about €14m) • Reported new contract: until 2032 • Current deal expires: 2029 • 2024 fee: €53m 🔭 Why it matters Olise's value has risen so far that a release clause and a Ballon d'Or bonus, both unusual for Bayern, are being discussed. But the club's leadership say formal talks have not begun, and Kane's renewal looks set to come first.
