Bayern Munich have moved to dismiss speculation linking Michael Olise with Real Madrid, with club chief Uli Hoeness insisting the French winger remains firmly tied to the German champions.
Olise has attracted attention with his performances for Bayern, prompting speculation over whether Real Madrid could attempt to bring the former Crystal Palace star to the Spanish capital. However, Hoeneß has made it clear that Bayern are not currently concerned about the transfer rumours.
The 25-year-old’s existing contract runs until 2029, giving Bayern a strong position as they consider the winger’s long-term future at the Allianz Arena.
Responding to the speculation, Hoeneß dismissed the reports and revealed that the club intend to discuss a possible contract extension with Olise during the current season.
“That’s all nonsense. Michael has a contract with us until 2029. So we’re not thinking about that right now.
“We’ll talk to him about extending his contract during the season. If he doesn’t want to by then, we’ll just wait and see what happens in 2029. I’m not worried at all.”
The comments underline Bayern’s confidence in their contractual position and suggest the club are not prepared to be drawn into speculation about a potential departure before any formal discussions take place.
Rather than treating the reported Real Madrid interest as an immediate threat, Bayern appear focused on securing Olise’s commitment beyond his current deal. Opening extension talks during the season would give the club an opportunity to establish whether the winger sees his long-term future in Munich.
Olise’s contract situation is likely to remain a talking point as Europe’s leading clubs continue to assess attacking options in the transfer market. Real Madrid’s name frequently features in discussions involving elite talent, but Hoeneß’s remarks make clear that Bayern are not currently preparing for Olise’s exit.
The club’s position is straightforward: the player remains under contract for several more years, and any decision about his future will depend on discussions between Bayern and the winger.
The timing of those talks could prove significant. If both parties agree on an extension, Bayern would strengthen their position and provide greater clarity over Olise’s future. If an agreement does not materialise, the club’s leadership has indicated it is prepared to wait rather than rush into a decision.
For now, Bayern Munich are giving little weight to the transfer speculation. Hoeneß’s message is that Olise’s future will be addressed directly with the player, not dictated by reports linking him with Real Madrid.
