Real Madrid released an official statement on Saturday denying speculation about a potential bid for Bayern Munich and France winger Michael Olise. The club explicitly stated it has not made any 'direct or indirect contact' with the 24-year-old player, his representatives, or anyone in his circle.
Olise, who scored 22 goals and recorded 31 assists for Bayern across all competitions in 2025-26, is currently competing at the World Cup with France. He provided the assist for Kylian Mbappé's opening goal in France's 3-1 Group C victory over Senegal.
Real Madrid emphasized its 'excellent institutional relationship' with Bayern Munich and expressed regret over transfer speculation. The Spanish club highlighted recent summer signings including Bernardo Silva (free transfer), Marc Cucurella (£52m from Chelsea), and defender Ibrahima Konate, who will join on a free transfer.
Real Madrid previously saw a €150 million offer for Atletico Madrid striker Julián Alvarez rejected. The denial on Olise comes amid ongoing transfer window activity as major European clubs pursue high-profile additions.
