Bayern refuses Real Madrid's €150m Olise chase after Pérez pledge

Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer warned Real Madrid chief Florentino Pérez that Bayern will not field any offers for French winger Michael Olise this summer. Hainer reiterated the club’s policy of retaining players under long‑term contracts, noting Olise remains tied to Munich until 2029. The statement came as Pérez, freshly re‑elected, pledged a €150m spending spree for a new Galactico.

Olise arrived from Crystal Palace in 2024 and has blossomed into Bayern’s standout creative. He posted 15 goals and 21 assists in 32 Bundesliga matches, helped the team clinch the league title, earned Player of the Season honors and a place in the Champions League Team of the Season with five goals and seven assists in 13 European games.

With Olise training for France ahead of his World Cup debut, Madrid’s pursuit appears stalled. Unless Pérez submits a formal bid, Bayern’s stance suggests the winger will remain in Munich, reinforcing their attacking options for another season while Real Madrid must look elsewhere to satisfy the €150m Galactico promise.

The impasse highlights the growing tension between Spain’s richest club and Germany’s reluctant sellers. Pérez’s campaign promise of a record signing now clashes with Bayern’s commitment to squad stability, leaving fans to wonder which marquee name will finally cross the Bernabeu’s threshold in the coming transfer window.
