Bayern Munich draws a line in the sand on Michael Olise as Real Madrid circles
The German giants are refusing to entertain any offer for their star winger, even as rumors swirl around a potential €150 million bid from Los Blancos.
Bayern Munich has made its position crystal clear: Michael Olise is not for sale. Not for €150 million. Not for any amount. The Bavarian club is publicly rejecting what it knows is coming, a bid from Real Madrid for the French winger who just put together one of the most productive seasons in recent Bundesliga history.
The numbers behind the standoff
Look at what Olise did this past season: 15 goals and 21 assists in just 32 Bundesliga appearances during the 2025-26 campaign.
Bayern president Herbert Hainer has publicly reiterated that Olise is under a long-term contract and is considered a cornerstone of the club’s future.
Real Madrid issued a statement on June 20, 2026 denying any form of contact with Olise or his representatives, emphasizing its respect for its relationship with Bayern Munich.
Reports have suggested Real Madrid is contemplating a package worth north of €150 million for Olise. Bayern’s response has been to dismiss these reports outright.
The World Cup wildcard
Olise has officially requested a post-World Cup meeting with Bayern management to discuss his future. PSG and several Premier League clubs have also been linked with interest in Olise.
The €150 million figure, if accurate, would place Olise among the most expensive transfers in football history.
