Following an outstanding campaign with Bayern Munich, Michael Olise is showcasing his brilliance early in the World Cup. This has naturally drawn interest from Europe’s elite, including Real Madrid. However, a confidential agreement between the Bavarian club and the Spanish giants appears set to block any transfer.
Michael Olise has made a stunning start to the World Cup, confirming his exceptional form and establishing himself as France’s key creative force. Naturally, his performances are turning heads, not least at Real Madrid, who are reportedly prepared to make the former Crystal Palace winger the most expensive signing in football history. Yet these reports come as a surprise to German journalist Christian Falk, who reveals that Florentino Pérez and Herbert Hainer—presidents of Real Madrid and Bayern Munich respectively—have reached a pact concerning Olise.
A non-aggression pact between Real and Bayern?
“Real Madrid would like to sign Michael Olise. But it is wrong to suggest they have any chance of landing the Frenchman this summer. Real Madrid have publicly stated they have had no contact with either the winger or Bayern Munich, and I can provide some background on this. The presidents of both clubs—Herbert Hainer of Bayern Munich and Florentino Pérez—are very close. They met during a dinner organised for the Champions League quarter-finals in Madrid and Munich, and now maintain strong ties. Hainer made it clear to his colleague and friend that Real Madrid had no chance of signing Olise. For his part, Pérez also clearly indicated that the Liga giants would not make any move without first informing Hainer. So I do not know where these rumours come from!”
“Right now, Real Madrid know there is no chance”
“They have therefore concluded this transfer pact—let’s call it the ‘presidential pact’! At the moment, Real Madrid know there is no chance, even if they were to offer €300 million. Moreover, the Spanish club are willing to back off if Bayern Munich simply does not want to sell Michael Olise. That is why the rumour should really calm down on this subject. And it should be noted that he has a long-term contract in Munich (which runs until 2029). Olise therefore has no leverage, even if he wanted to. But we do not even know if he wishes to change clubs,” adds Christian Falk.
