Real Madrid issued a statement on Saturday insisting it has had no direct or indirect contact with Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise or his representatives. The club stressed that any interest in a player owned by another team must be discussed between the clubs first, underscoring the long‑standing institutional loyalty between Real Madrid and Bayern, as the club prepares for pre‑season tours in the U.S.

The denial follows weeks of speculation after media outlets linked Olise to a potential €150 million move to the Bernabéu, a figure Pérez previously cited for a bid on Atlético’s Julián Álvarez. Mourinho’s squad overhaul continues, with recent arrivals Marc Cucurella, Bernardo Silva and Ibrahima Konaté confirmed, while the president also promised defender Denzel Dumfries during the club’s election campaign.

Madrid remains tight‑lipped on further targets but ESPN reports the board is still eyeing a central midfielder and a centre‑back, refusing to rule out an attacking addition. By formally dismissing the Olise rumor, the club preserves its rapport with Bayern and signals that upcoming business will centre on the players already announced, and will likely influence the January window.
