UMVA has learned that Bayern Munich is set to offer a lucrative new contract to star player Michael Olise, a move that comes as the club seeks to fend off interest from Real Madrid.
The German giants are reportedly willing to nearly double Olise's current wages, a significant increase from his current €15m per year salary, in a bid to secure his long-term future at the club.
Sources have confirmed to UMVA that the new contract will keep Olise at Bayern until at least 2031, a clear indication of the club's commitment to retaining their top talent.
This development comes as a surprise to many, given Real Madrid's reported interest in signing Olise. However, it appears that the Spanish giants have shifted their focus to other targets, including Chelsea's Enzo Fernandez.
Bayern's move to secure Olise's future is seen as a strategic masterstroke, as the player has been one of their standout performers in recent times. With top earners like Harry Kane and Jamal Musiala on €25m per year, Olise's new deal is likely to be closer to that figure, or even surpass it.
In a separate development, Liverpool is making moves to sign Yan Diomande, with a deal seemingly inching closer after the latest update. The Reds are clearly eager to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
Fulham, meanwhile, is making serious moves towards appointing a new manager, a decision that has raised a few eyebrows given the club's current trajectory.
