After a stellar season with Bayern Munich, Michael Olise is showcasing his immense talent at the start of the World Cup. This remarkable form has naturally piqued the interest of Europe’s elite clubs, including Spanish giants Real Madrid. However, an exclusive agreement reportedly in place with the Bavarian club is set to make any potential transfer unattainable.
Having made an incredibly impressive start to the World Cup, Michael Olise has firmly established himself as a technical leader for the French national team. His electrifying performances have not gone unnoticed, particularly by Real Madrid, who were reportedly prepared to make the former Crystal Palace winger the subject of the biggest transfer in football history. Yet, these swirling rumors have been met with surprise by German journalist Christian Falk, who reveals a significant understanding between Florentino Pérez, president of Real Madrid, and Herbert Hainer, president of Bayern Munich, concerning Michael Olise.
A non-aggression pact between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich?
“Real Madrid would indeed like to sign Michael Olise. However, it is incorrect to suggest they have any chance of acquiring the Frenchman this summer. Real Madrid has publicly stated they have had no contact with either the winger or Bayern Munich, and I can provide some background information on this matter. The presidents of both clubs – Herbert Hainer of Bayern Munich and Florentino Pérez – share a very close relationship. They met for dinner during the Champions League quarter-finals in Madrid and Munich and have since forged strong ties. Hainer made it unequivocally clear to his colleague and friend that Real Madrid stood no chance of signing Olise. In turn, Pérez also explicitly indicated that the La Liga giants would not initiate any moves without first informing Hainer. Therefore, I am puzzled as to the origin of these rumors!” Falk stated to the website cfbayerninsider.com, before elaborating further.
“Real Madrid currently knows there’s no chance”
“They have, in essence, forged this transfer pact – let’s call it the ‘presidential pact’! As things stand, Real Madrid understands that there is no possibility, even if they were to table an offer of 300 million euros. Furthermore, the Spanish club is prepared to halt any pursuit if Bayern Munich is simply unwilling to part ways with Michael Olise. This is why the speculation surrounding this topic should truly subside. It’s also crucial to remember that he holds a long-term contract in Munich, which extends until 2029. Consequently, Olise possesses no leverage to force a move, even if he desired one. However, it’s not even certain that he wishes to change clubs,” Christian Falk concluded.
