Following a season without any silverware, Real Madrid is determined to bolster its squad this summer to prevent a repeat of that disappointment. Several high-profile names have been linked to the Spanish giants, with Michael Olise emerging as a primary target. However, Bayern Munich has issued a firm statement that is likely to dampen the expectations at the Casa Blanca.
The hierarchy at Real Madrid is still reeling from their trophy-less campaign. To ensure a more successful future, the club is looking to provide José Mourinho with significant reinforcements. Among the names discussed in recent weeks is Michael Olise. The 24-year-old talent, who is currently competing in the 2026 World Cup with the France national team, has been in sensational form for Bayern Munich. The Bavarian leadership has now responded directly to the interest shown by the Merengue regarding a potential move for the French international.
«We are not a selling club»
« As I have stated previously, if the president of Real Madrid, Florentino Pérez, is considering an offer, he can save himself the trouble because we have no intention of selling Michael Olise. Bayern Munich maintains an excellent rapport with Real Madrid. Consequently, they reached out to inform me that they have had no contact with Michael Olise and that they wish to see an end to these persistent media speculations. He is a Bayern Munich player with a long-term contract in place. We simply are not a selling club » declared Herbert Hainer, the president of Bayern Munich.
Another transfer setback for Real Madrid
Real Madrid now has a definitive answer regarding their pursuit of Michael Olise. This rejection follows a similar disappointment with Julian Alvarez, marking another failed attempt for the Liga side in this transfer window. It remains to be seen whether the Casa Blanca will continue to push for the 24-year-old winger or if they will pivot to other targets on the market. The situation continues to develop.
