Bayern Munich president shuts Real Madrid hopes for Michael Olise transfer
Real Madrid is still reeling from a trophyless season and is determined to strengthen its squad this summer to avoid a repeat. Among the many names linked to the Spanish giants is Michael Olise. However, Bayern Munich has just issued a statement that is likely to cool the hopes of the Merengue.
Real Madrid has not yet recovered from its trophy-less campaign. The club plans to avoid a similar outcome next season and intends to reinforce Jos\u00e9 Mourinho’s squad. Several names have emerged in recent weeks, including Michael Olise. The 24-year-old, currently participating in the 2026 World Cup with the French national team, has impressed at Bayern Munich. The Bavarians have now directly responded to the Merengue regarding a potential transfer of the French international.
“We are not a selling club”
Herbert Hainer, president of Bayern Munich, made a firm declaration: ‘As I have said before, if Real Madrid president Florentino P\u00e9rez had an offer in mind, he can spare himself the trouble because we do not want to sell Michael Olise. Bayern Munich enjoys excellent relations with Real Madrid, and for this reason they contacted me to say, first, that they have absolutely no contact with Michael Olise, and second, that they do not appreciate these constant media speculations. He is a Bayern Munich player with a long-term contract. And we are not a selling club.’
Another transfer setback for Real Madrid

It remains to be seen whether the Casa Blanca will persist in their pursuit of the 24-year-old winger or move on to other targets. To be continued…
