Real Madrid’s transfer hopes dashed by Bayern’s stance on Olise

With a barren season behind them, Real Madrid are desperate to bolster their squad this summer to prevent a repeat. Among the names linked with a move to the Santiago Bernabéu was Michael Olise. However, the Bayern Munich hierarchy has just delivered a setback that has dampened the hopes of the Spanish giants.

The Real Madrid hierarchy has not yet moved on from the disappointment of their trophy-less campaign. Determined to avoid a similar fate next season, the club is actively seeking to strengthen José Mourinho’s squad. Michael Olise’s name has frequently surfaced in transfer discussions, with the 24-year-old winger impressing in Bayern Munich colors. The German club has now responded directly to the Spanish side’s inquiries regarding a potential move for the French international.

Bayern Munich issues firm statement on Olise transfer

«As I’ve stated before, if Real Madrid’s president Florentino Pérez has an offer in mind, he can spare himself the trouble. We have no intention of selling Michael Olise,» declared Herbert Hainer, president of Bayern Munich. «The club enjoys excellent relations with Real Madrid, and they reached out to inform us they have had no contact with Olise and have no interest in fuelling constant media speculation. He is a Bayern Munich player with a long-term contract, and we are not a selling club.»

Real Madrid faces another transfer rejection

For Real Madrid, the message from Bayern Munich is clear regarding Michael Olise. Following a recent rejection over Julián Álvarez, the La Liga side has once again been rebuffed in their transfer pursuits. Whether the Casa Blanca will persist with their interest in the 24-year-old winger or pivot to other targets remains uncertain. The transfer saga continues to unfold.
