Bayern Munich draw firm line over Michael Olise amid rising transfer interest

Bayern Munich have moved swiftly to shut down growing speculation around Michael Olise, with sporting chief Max Eberl making it clear the club has no intention of entertaining any approach for the in-form midfielder.

Interest in the France international has intensified in recent weeks, with several of Europe’s elite clubs monitoring his progress following a standout season in Germany.

Among those linked are Liverpool and Real Madrid, both of whom are believed to be tracking attacking midfield options ahead of future squad reshuffles.

However, Bayern’s stance could not be more definitive. Speaking to ZDF over the weekend, Eberl left little room for interpretation regarding Olise’s future, underlining the club’s commitment to keeping hold of one of their most productive creative forces.

“Michel Olise is absolutely untouchable. For us, there is not a second of doubt about it. It is developing excellently.”

The 2025–2026 campaign has seen Olise elevate his influence significantly, with the midfielder directly contributing to 48 goals across all competitions, registering 19 strikes and 29 assists.

His impact has become central to Bayern’s attacking structure, with his consistency and creativity proving vital in both domestic and European competition.

Since his move from Crystal Palace 18 months ago, Olise has steadily adapted to the demands of German football, transforming from a promising Premier League talent into a key figure at one of Europe’s most dominant clubs. His technical quality, vision, and end product have combined to make him one of Bayern’s most valuable assets.

Internally, the club views him as a long-term cornerstone of their project, particularly as they look to maintain their competitive edge at the highest level.
