MUNICH — Bayern Munich President Herbert Hainer has issued a definitive warning to Real Madrid regarding potential interest in star winger Michael Olise, effectively slamming the door on any transfer rumors.
"Save Himself the Trouble"
Amid persistent speculation that Olise is a primary target for Florentino Pérez should he win the upcoming Real Madrid presidential election, Hainer was unequivocal in his response.
"If Florentino Pérez wants to send us a bid for Olise which has not happened so far he can save himself the trouble," Hainer told BILD. "Michael Olise is a player of FC Bayern with a long-term contract. We are NOT a selling club."
A Cornerstone of Bayern’s Attack
The speculation stems from a €150 million transfer pledge made by Pérez, with Olise identified as a potential candidate due to his prolific form. The 24-year-old French international has been a revelation for the Bavarian giants since his €60 million arrival from Crystal Palace in July 2024.
-
2025/2026 Season Performance: Olise has been central to Bayern's success, recording an incredible 48 goal involvements in 52 appearances across all competitions.
-
Contract Status: Olise is currently tied to the club until June 2029, reinforcing Bayern’s firm stance that he is not for sale.
Real Madrid’s Search Continues
With Hainer’s comments effectively removing Olise from the market, Real Madrid’s leadership is expected to pivot toward other high-profile targets. Pérez has signaled a clear intent to bring a world-class talent from a fellow Champions League club to the Santiago Bernabéu should he secure the presidency, though the specific identity of his "€150 million man" remains a subject of intense debate among supporters.
