Bayern Munich reach firm decision on selling Michael Olise to Real Madrid in €150m deal
Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer has warned Real Madrid counterpart Florentino Perez to forget any hopes of prising Michael Olise away from the Allianz Arena this summer, with Fabrizio Romano also weighing in on whether a deal could be possible.
The former Crystal Palace man has taken his game to world-class status since ditching the Eagles in a €60m (£52m) move in summer 2024, playing a part in an incredible 106 goals (54 scored, 42 assists) from his 107 appearances for Bayern Munich.
Olise, who scored a hat-trick on Monday night for France as they beat Northern Ireland 3-1 in a World Cup warm-up match, was recently the subject of speculation in the Spanish media that a monumental €150m (£129m, $173m) offer would be lodged for his services this summer by Real Madrid.
That speculation arose as Perez claimed in his manifesto to win re-election as Los Blancos president that his side were preparing to spend a club record fee on a global superstar this summer, though TEAMtalk sources state the player in question is actually a PSG winger.
Nonetheless, the links to Olise appear to have got Bayern sufficiently concerned and now Hainer has publicly spoken out on the speculation.
“Michael Olise is a Bayern Munich player who still has a long-term contract – and we are not a club that sells players,” Hainer told BILD.
“If Florentino Perez wants to send us an offer – which hasn’t happened yet – he can save himself the trouble.”
The club’s honorary president Uli Hoeness has also told Real to forget any dreams they have of signing Olise, telling their new boss Jose Mourinho: “He can watch Olise as much as he wants, he won’t get him. He is not for sale.”
And the club’s former CEO Karl-Heinz Rummenigge is also adamant Olise will not be allowed to leave, saying: “For a player like Olise, there is no price that would tempt us.”

In light of all that, and with Olise in the news after taking his tally to seven goals in 17 games for Le Bleus, Fabrizio Romano has also had his say on the possibility of a summer move.
