Arsenal have made Michael Olise a top long-term attacking target. Sources have confirmed the club is preparing for a move in the summer of 2026 valued at over £100 million. The financial package is reportedly an initial £80 million with £25 million in achievable add-ons and a salary of over £250,000 a week. Sources close to the player insist he is happy and settled in Bavaria but would seriously consider Arsenal if a clear opportunity for a move arose in 18 months' time, and that his representatives are aware of the interest. Bayern have no intention of considering approaches in January, as senior figures at the Allianz Arena view Olise as central to Vincent Kompany’s project and are not concerned about his contract running until 2029. A mid-season sale is not being considered, and Bayern will make efforts to keep him.

According to CaughtOffside, Arsenal have become contenders to sign Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, who has also been monitored by Liverpool and Man Utd. Olise is a 23-year-old French international who joined Bayern in July 2024 and is under contract until 2029. He has 6 goals and 7 assists in 11 appearances in the Bundesliga season. The winger has 13 caps and 4 goals for France. According to Transfermarkt, Olise has a current market value of €130.00m.
