Overview
- Bayern president Herbert Hainer has publicly ruled out selling Michael Olise and told Real Madrid to abandon any pursuit of the player.
- France and Bayern teammate Dayot Upamecano declared on the record that Olise will remain at Bayern, saying "Er bleibt, er bleibt."
- Real Madrid issued an official statement saying it has had no contact with Olise or his representatives.
- Olise is reported to have a Bayern contract through 2029 with no exit clause, which legally reduces the chance of an immediate transfer without the club's agreement.
- Reports say Bayern are working on an early contract extension to deter suitors after Olise's strong World Cup showing of multiple assists, a move that would make a summer sale unlikely and keep him in Munich for the near term.
