Bayern Munich rules out Michael Olise transfer to Real Madrid

The Real Madrid is determined to bounce back from a dismal season by strengthening its squad under José Mourinho. Among the potential targets discussed in recent weeks is Michael Olise, the 24-year-old French winger who has been excelling with the Bayern Munich. However, the Bavarian club has now delivered a clear message to the Spanish giants.

With Michael Olise shining in the 2026 World Cup while representing France, the Real Madrid had pinned high hopes on securing his services. Yet the Bayern Munich has firmly shut the door on any transfer speculation involving the young star.

«We are not a selling club»

Herbert Hainer, president of the Bayern Munich, addressed the persistent rumors head-on. In a statement, he emphasized, «As I’ve already made clear, if Florentino Pérez had a genuine offer in mind, he can skip it—we have no intention of selling Michael Olise. The Bayern Munich maintains outstanding relations with the Real Madrid, and they reached out to clarify two key points: first, they had no contact whatsoever with Michael Olise, and second, they do not welcome constant speculation in the media. He is a player under contract with us for the long term, and we are not a club that sells our talent.»

Another summer transfer setback for Real Madrid

For the Real Madrid, the message is unambiguous: Michael Olise will not be joining the Casa Blanca. This marks the second refusal the club has faced this transfer window, following the earlier rejection regarding Julián Álvarez. The question now is whether the Real Madrid will persist in pursuing the French winger or pivot to alternative targets. The saga continues.
