Bayern Munich sporting director Christoph Freund has warned Liverpool and Chelsea that the Bavarians are under no pressure to sell Michael Olise – as the France international continues to be linked with a return to the Premier League<\/a>. The 23-year-old joined the Bundesliga giants in a \u20ac60m deal in the summer of 2024 and quickly established himself as one of their star players.<\/p>\n The forward returned a whopping 20 goals and 23 assists from 55 appearances in all competitions last season. He helped fire Bayern to another Bundesliga title.<\/p>\n And Olise has carried such top form into the current campaign, with the forward boasting five goals and six assists from 10 outings so far this season.<\/p>\n READ MORE: Florian Wirtz agreement reached as Liverpool sent clear ‘diva’ message<\/a>READ MORE: Steven Gerrard points finger at Trent Alexander Arnold over Liverpool exit – ‘What are you doing?’<\/a><\/p>\n That as not gone unnoticed around Europe, with the former Crystal Palace man reportedly attracting interest from a number of the continent’s leading clubs – including Liverpool <\/a>and Chelsea.<\/p>\n BILD recently reported that both the Reds and Man City are monitoring the Frenchman very closely,<\/a> while Chelsea are also credited with strong interest<\/a>, having twice missed out on the forward – who previously spent seven years in their academy – in the past.<\/p>\n Olise turned down a return to Chelsea in the summer of 2023, despite the Londoners activating his \u00a335m release clause, as he opted to sign a new contract with Crystal Palace instead.<\/p>\n They were also interested in signing him ahead of his move to Bayern, but ended up withdrawing interest due to the number of players they already possess in his position.<\/p>\n It’s been suggested that it would now cost at least \u20ac100m to lure Olise away from Bayern next summer, but BILD claims such a fee would not scare off suitors with Liverpool tipped as happy to spend it on a player who continues to be touted as possible long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah<\/a>.<\/p>\n Aware of such interest, Bayern are, reportedly, working on a new contract for the 23-year-old in a bid to fend off interest.<\/p>\n Regardless, Olise’s current deal runs until 2029 and Freund has warned suitors that Bayern see the forward’s long-term future with the German heavyweights.<\/p>\n The third edition of Blood Red \u2013 your new monthly publication from the ECHO covering everything you need to know about what\u2019s happening at Liverpool FC. is on sale now.
