Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano has stated that winger Michael Olise will remain with the club, dismissing growing speculation linking him with a move to Real Madrid.
Upamecano responded to questions about encouraging Olise to stay in Munich with a firm “He’s staying, he’s staying,” according to reports. This comes as Real Madrid have been increasingly linked with the French international following a successful season with Bayern and his participation in the World Cup.
Olise joined Bayern Munich last summer from Crystal Palace and has quickly become a vital part of Vincent Kompany’s team. His performances have showcased his dribbling ability, creativity, and overall attacking output, establishing him as a key player in Bayern’s forward line. He has also become a Ballon d’Or candidate due to his stellar form.
While Upamecano’s comments do not represent an official statement from the club, they indicate a strong belief within the Bayern squad that Olise will continue his career at the Allianz Arena. The player’s rapid adaptation to the Bundesliga and his importance to Kompany’s tactical setup likely contribute to this confidence.
Olise’s situation has drawn attention due to his breakout season and the prestige of Real Madrid, but Upamecano’s reassurance suggests Bayern are prepared to retain their key asset. The club will hope to build their attack around him for years to come, and his continued presence would be a significant boost to their ambitions.
