Bayern Munich president rules out Michael Olise sale, dealing blow to Real Madrid

Following a season without trophies, Real Madrid plans to bolster its squad this summer to avoid a repeat performance. The Madrid club has been linked with several names, including Michael Olise. However, Bayern Munich has issued a new statement that could cool the hopes of the Spanish giants.

Real Madrid has not yet come to terms with its empty trophy cabinet. The club is determined to prevent a similar outcome next season and intends to strengthen the squad under José Mourinho. Names have been circulating in recent weeks, among them Michael Olise. The 24-year-old, currently participating in the 2026 World Cup with the France national team, has shone for Bayern Munich. The Bavarians have directly responded to the Merengues regarding a potential transfer of the French international.

“We are not a selling club”

“As I have already said, if Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez had an offer in mind, he can save himself the trouble because we do not want to sell Michael Olise. Bayern Munich maintains excellent relations with Real Madrid, and accordingly they contacted me to say, on the one hand, that they have absolutely no contact with Michael Olise, and on the other hand, that they do not want these constant media speculations. He is a Bayern Munich player with a long-term contract. And we are not a selling club,” responded Herbert Hainer, president of Bayern Munich.

Another transfer rejection for Real Madrid

Real Madrid now knows where it stands regarding Michael Olise. After Julian Alvarez, the La Liga side faces another refusal in the transfer market. It remains to be seen whether the Casa Blanca will persist for the 24-year-old winger or activate an alternative target. Stay tuned…
