Real Madrid’s interest in Michael Olise has been a topic of discussion throughout the summer, with the club’s president, Florentino Perez, reportedly keen on signing the Bayern Munich winger. However, despite the rumors, Bayern’s sporting director, Christoph Freund, has dismissed the speculation, stating that Olise is not a topic for discussion and will play an important role for the club this season.
Olise, who has been with Bayern since 2024, has been a key player for the team, helping them win two Bundesliga titles, as well as the domestic Cup and Supercup. The Frenchman’s current contract with Bayern runs until 2029, and the club has made it clear that he is not for sale. According to Christian Falk, Olise has told his French national teammates that he would like to join Real Madrid at some stage, but he is unlikely to force an exit from Bayern this summer.
Meanwhile, Real Madrid has been linked to other transfer targets, including RB Leipzig’s Yan Diomande. The club has reportedly reached an agreement on contract terms with the Ivorian winger and is preparing an improved offer to outbid Paris Saint-Germain’s interest. Diomande impressed at the recent World Cup, making four appearances and providing an assist in a 2-0 victory over Curacao.
It’s worth noting that Real Madrid’s pursuit of Diomande may have been facilitated by the rumors surrounding Olise, which may have been used as a smokescreen to mask their true intentions. Regardless, Bayern fans can rest easy knowing that Olise is set to remain with the club, at least for the time being. With Olise still on board, Bayern will be looking to build on their recent successes and make a serious push for silverware in the upcoming campaign.
