According to a recent report from Bild football chief Christian Falk, Real Madrid are weighing up a €160–165 million offer for Michael Olise this summer.

However, Bayern have previously ruled out the possibility of Olise leaving, and the club's board member for sport, Max Eberl, has now reiterated that stance.

Asked by Sky Germany if a move could be on the cards for the French winger, Eberl responded:

“No. Quite simply, no. We have a long-term project. Michael feels very comfortable here. You can see how this team functions, how successful it can be. And if we play football like this, there is no chance for anything else.”

Olise has become one of Bayern's most important attacking players since joining from Crystal Palace in 2024. This season alone, the Frenchman has scored 16 goals and provided 29 assists in 41 games.

“We can see how he is developing. We saw what potential he had when we signed him – what qualities he had already shown in the Premier League. Over the past year and three quarters at Bayern Munich, he has not only confirmed that, but even improved further. It is a joy to watch him play football,” said Eberl.

“What is particularly interesting about him is that he is rarely satisfied with himself. If I come in after a match and, after three assists and two goals, ask: ‘So Michael, how do you see yourself today?’, he says: ‘It was okay.’ That describes him, and that is exactly what drives him. He definitely has the potential to become one of the best footballers in the world.”
