Herbert Hainer: Bayern Munich Will Not Sell Michael Olise to Real Madrid

Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer has insisted Michael Olise is not for sale, dismissing growing transfer speculation surrounding Real Madrid and stressing the German champions are under no financial pressure to part with one of their leading attackers.

Bayern’s stance on Olise

Olise is under contract at Bayern until 2029, and Hainer said the club’s financial position allows it to make decisions without needing to cash in on major players. The French winger remains central to Vincent Kompany’s attacking plans, with Bayern determined to keep him despite reports that any possible bid could exceed €200 million.

• Olise has a Bayern contract running through 2029.
• The club want to retain the 24-year-old rather than respond to outside financial pressure.
• Real Madrid have been linked with the winger, although Hainer said Bayern are equipped to resist approaches from any club.
• Bayern hope Olise will eventually agree an extension, but sporting director Max Eberl has said formal negotiations have not yet begun.

Speaking to Bild TV, Hainer said Bayern do not have to sell and operate from a position of strength. He added that the club have plenty to offer Olise, regardless of interest from Madrid or elsewhere.

Rapid rise in Munich

Hainer also pointed to Olise’s development since arriving in Bavaria, saying the player is settled in Munich and has grown from a talent known mainly by close followers of the game into a figure recognised across world football.

That progress has been reflected in his start to the season. Olise has recorded eight goals and four assists in his first eight appearances in all competitions, making him one of the most productive players in Bayern’s early campaign.

Champions League test ahead

Bayern’s next assignment takes them to Norway, where Kompany’s side face Viking in the Champions League on Tuesday, October 13. Olise is expected to lead the visitors’ attacking threat as Bayern seek to maintain their perfect record and underline their credentials in Europe.

His form in that match will add further weight to Bayern’s resolve. With a long contract already in place and the player enjoying a prolific start in Munich, the club’s public position is that Olise remains a key part of their future rather than an asset they intend to sell.
