Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer has addressed speculation regarding Real Madrid’s interest in winger Michael Olise. Hainer indicated that if Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez has an offer in mind, he can save the effort, as Bayern Munich does not intend to sell Olise.
Hainer mentioned that Bayern Munich maintains a positive relationship with Real Madrid. He stated that Real Madrid contacted him to clarify that they have no contact with Olise and wish to avoid ongoing media speculation. Real Madrid had previously issued an official statement denying any contact with Olise’s representatives.
Olise’s Impact and Madrid’s Interest
Olise has reportedly had a strong 2025/26 season for the Bundesliga champions. His performances have reportedly made him a key target for Florentino Pérez, who is said to be impressed by his play. Olise is currently participating in the World Cup, where he is playing alongside Kylian Mbappe for the French national team.
Reports suggest that Olise’s connection with Mbappe during their World Cup performances, particularly in wins against Iraq and Senegal in the group stages, has further fueled interest from Real Madrid. The two players are reportedly enjoying their time together in the French attack, which has intrigued Madrid fans about their potential partnership at club level.
While Real Madrid is also focusing on strengthening their defense and midfield, the club has reportedly been seeking a left-footed right winger since the decline of Gareth Bale. This position has been identified as an area that has prevented Real Madrid from consistently having one of the most formidable and complete attacking trios in European football, in comparison to clubs like Barcelona and Bayern Munich in recent seasons.
Bayern’s Concerns Over Olise’s Commitment
Despite Bayern Munich’s stance, there are reports that the German club is becoming concerned about Olise’s commitment. According to one report, Bayern had hoped Olise would publicly or privately signal his dedication to the club amidst transfer rumors, but he has not done so. This lack of a gesture is reportedly causing worry within Bayern.
It appears that Olise may be leaning towards Real Madrid, with the links reportedly flattering him. The strong connection he is forging with Kylian Mbappe on the international stage is also seen as a factor influencing his potential decision. Real Madrid is reportedly working to create doubt in the minds of Bayern officials regarding Olise’s future.
Although securing Olise, described as one of the elite left-footed right wingers globally, from Bayern Munich might seem challenging, Real Madrid is reportedly making efforts to sway the player. The situation suggests that while Bayern does not wish to sell, convincing Olise to stay might prove difficult if he is inclined towards a move.
Real Madrid’s focus on Olise comes despite their efforts to improve their back line under Jose Mourinho, indicating a continued interest in strengthening their attacking options. The club is reportedly proceeding carefully to avoid straining their relationship with Bayern Munich.
The Bayern president’s comments highlight the club’s firm position on retaining Olise, stating that they do not want to sell him.
