Bayern Munich rule out Michael Olise transfer to Jose Mourinho’s Real Madrid
Bayern Munich honorary president Uli Hoeness has emphatically ruled out the prospect of winger Michael Olise joining Real Madrid this summer, despite reported scouting missions from expected new manager Jose Mourinho.
Mourinho is widely anticipated to take charge at the Bernabeu at the end of the current campaign.
The Portuguese coach was recently spotted in Berlin ahead of Bayern’s German Cup tie against Stuttgart, sparking rumours of a scouting mission.
However, Hoeness was quick to dismiss any suggestion that the 24-year-old French international would be allowed to depart the Allianz Arena.
“José Mourinho is in the stadium tonight to keep an eye on Michael Olise for Real Madrid? He can keep 5 eyes on him, he still won’t get him.”
Sensational season sparks widespread interest
The former Crystal Palace attacker has enjoyed a phenomenal season in Germany.
He has registered 22 goals and 30 assists across all competitions, cementing his status as one of Europe’s premier attacking talents.
That exceptional form has inevitably drawn attention from several elite clubs, including Liverpool.
However, Bayern’s hierarchy remains resolute, with sporting director Max Eberl recently stating they are not considering a sale.
“Absolutely. Yes. We’re not having a second to think about anything,”
Gerrard’s Liverpool plea falls on deaf ears
Former Liverpool captain Steven Gerrard previously urged his old club to pursue a deal for the highly-rated wide man.
Despite his admiration, Gerrard conceded that prying the player away from the Bundesliga giants would be incredibly difficult.
“All day long. But the problem is, why would he leave Bayern? A big club, challenging for the big honours, and they are probably the strongest Bayern Munich team we have seen for a while.”
The coveted winger remains under contract with the Bavarian club until 2029.
He is now preparing to showcase his talents on the global stage after being selected in the France squad for the upcoming World Cup.
