Bayern Munich Plans to Secure Harry Kane Amid Olise's Untouchable Status
Bayern move to lock in Kane as Olise declared ‘not for sale at any price’
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge has made it clear: Bayern Munich intend to sit down with Harry Kane the moment this season is over and talk about keeping their No 9 in Bavaria for the long haul.
Kane, 32, is already tied to Bayern until 2027, but the club are treating him as a long-term pillar rather than a short-term superstar. Speaking to t-online, Rummenigge underlined just how significant last summer’s deal was for the German champions.
“Getting Harry Kane to Munich was an important coup in the history of the club,” he said, framing the England captain as a defining signing rather than just another big name through the door.
Kane had a release clause in his contract. He chose not to use it. That decision, Rummenigge explained, was a clear signal from the striker that he intends to stay in Munich. The plan now is simple: once the campaign ends, the club’s sporting leadership will open formal negotiations over a new agreement, aiming to secure the forward well beyond his current 2027 deal.
While Bayern work to bolt the door on any future move for Kane, they are slamming it shut entirely on Michael Olise.
The French winger has exploded this season, driving Bayern’s push for a treble with a stream of goals, assists and performances that have lit up the Bundesliga and Europe. His form has inevitably drawn admiring glances from England, with Liverpool among the clubs scouring the continent for a potential successor to Mohamed Salah.
Bayern’s response? Don’t bother calling.
Rummenigge was blunt when asked about the former Crystal Palace man. There is, he insisted, no figure that would persuade Bayern to cash in.
“He’s a wonderful player. I also appreciate how reserved and almost media-shy he is. That’s rare these days,” Rummenigge said, praising not only Olise’s talent but his personality. “He’s a great guy, and on the pitch, he’s outstanding, the way he plays football, almost magically.”
To hammer home the point, Rummenigge reached back to 2009 and an offer from Chelsea for Franck Ribéry that would have set a world transfer record at the time. Bayern turned it down after lengthy internal talks, and out of that meeting came a core principle: they would not sell players they could not afford to lose on the pitch.
“That day, we made a fundamental decision: that in the future, we would never sell a player we would miss on the pitch. And this unwritten rule still applies today,” he said. For a player like Olise, he added, “there’s no price tag that would make us flinch.”
That stance is not just Rummenigge talking. CEO Max Eberl has already dismissed the idea that a huge bid could change Bayern’s mind. The message from the top of the club is aligned and uncompromising.
Olise, under contract until 2029, has become one of Europe’s hottest properties, amassing 19 goals and 26 assists this season. Those numbers have only intensified interest across the continent, but with Bayern’s hierarchy closing ranks, rival clubs will have to redirect their scouting reports elsewhere.
For now, the focus for both Kane and Olise is not on contracts or hypothetical offers. Bayern travel to Paris on Tuesday night to face PSG in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final, with their two attacking stars central to a season that could yet end in history.
