Bayern Munich shuts down Real Madrid interest in Michael Olise

The frustration of a trophyless campaign still weighs heavily on Real Madrid. To avoid a similar outcome in the upcoming season, the club is looking to provide José Mourinho with a more competitive roster. Among the names linked to the club in recent weeks is Michael Olise. The 24-year-old talent, who is currently participating in the 2026 World Cup with the France national team, has been a standout performer for Bayern Munich. The German champions have now addressed the interest from the Spanish side directly regarding a possible move for the French international.

Bayern Munich insists they are not a selling club

The message from the Bayern Munich hierarchy is unequivocal. President Herbert Hainer made it clear that even if Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is considering a bid, he should reconsider, as the club has no intention of parting with Michael Olise. While both clubs maintain a positive professional relationship, the German side noted that Real Madrid has communicated they have not made direct contact with the player and wish to avoid further media speculation. Michael Olise remains under a long-term contract in Germany, and the club’s leadership emphasized that they do not intend to let their top assets leave.

Another transfer hurdle for the Spanish side

This firm stance leaves Real Madrid in a difficult position regarding their pursuit of Michael Olise. After failing to secure Julian Alvarez, the La Liga giants have encountered yet another refusal in the transfer market. It remains to be seen if the club will continue to pursue the 24-year-old winger or if they will shift their attention to other targets to bolster their attack for the next campaign.
