Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer has informed his Real Madrid counterpart Florentino Pérez that the club will not entertain offers for Michael Olise during this summer transfer window.
Pérez, who was re-elected as president of Real Madrid on Sunday, pledged during his campaign to break the club’s transfer record by spending €150 million ($174 million) to sign a ‘Galactico’ player this summer.
With reports suggesting that Bayern’s French winger is the player Pérez is after, Hainer stated to Bild: “Michael Olise is a Bayern Munich player with a long-term contract, and we are not a club known for selling players.

“If Florentino Pérez wants to send us an offer, which he hasn’t done yet, he can spare himself the trouble.”
Olise joined Bayern Munich from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2024 and has a contract with the Bundesliga champions until June 2029.
In the previous season, Olise scored 15 goals and provided 21 assists in 32 league appearances, helping Bayern retain the Bundesliga title.
Olise was named Player of the Season in the Bundesliga and featured in the Champions League team of the season, having scored five goals and assisted seven times in 13 matches.
Now 24, Olise is preparing for his first World Cup with the France national team, which will face Senegal in their opening match on June 16.
