Bayern Munich are confident that Michael Olise will be their player next season, according to club president Jan-Christian Dreesen. Dreesen stated on Tuesday that the French winger’s transfer to the Bavarian club is assured, despite reported interest from Real Madrid.
Dreesen dismissed claims of contact from Real Madrid, stating the club had not received any communication – “neither letter, nor fax, nor call” – regarding a potential bid for Olise. He expressed surprise at the spread of misinformation surrounding the transfer, noting the frequent inquiries from friends about the situation.
The Bayern president indicated he has not been pressured to consider selling Olise, even at a significant fee. He shared that discussions with acquaintances did not yield advice to accept a large offer, such as 200 million euros, for the player. This suggests a firm commitment from Bayern to retain Olise’s services.
Olise currently plays for Crystal Palace in the English Premier League, where he has established himself as a key player with his creative ability and goal-scoring threat. He joined Palace in 2021 from Reading, and has become a fan favorite. Last season, Olise contributed significantly to Palace’s attack, providing assists and scoring crucial goals. His performances have attracted attention from top clubs across Europe, including Bayern and Real Madrid.
Bayern Munich are looking to strengthen their attacking options ahead of the upcoming season. The addition of Olise would provide manager Thomas Tuchel with another dynamic player capable of creating chances and scoring goals. The club has been active in the transfer market, aiming to build a squad capable of competing for both domestic and European titles. Securing Olise would be a significant coup for Bayern, adding a talented young player to their ranks. This move could see Olise feature prominently in Bayern’s Champions League campaign and Bundesliga title challenge.
