Perez’s bold claim fuels Olise rumours as Bayern hold firm

During Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer's visit to the Santiago Bernabeu for Real Madrid's university graduation ceremony, club president Florentino Perez told him, “In the end, you will have to sell Olise to me.” The remark, made on the sidelines of the institutional event, reignited speculation about a possible move for the French winger.

Hainer was invited by Perez to attend the graduation ceremony, an event that had no sporting purpose. The brief exchange between the two executives has revived talk surrounding Michael Olise and Real Madrid's admiration for the winger.

Real Madrid have been linked with the Bayern attacker for some time and view him as a potential Galactico signing. The club sees Olise as a player who could strengthen a position that has lacked continuity for several seasons.

Bayern Munich have repeatedly insisted they have no intention of selling the winger. Real Madrid have also downplayed reports of a possible pursuit, publicly distancing themselves from any negotiation.

Olise's pace, decision‑making and ability to create one‑on‑one opportunities have established him as one of the most exciting forwards in European football. Many believe his style could complement Kylian Mbappe, potentially forming one of Europe’s most dangerous attacking partnerships.

The episode illustrates how transfer speculation tends to follow Perez wherever he goes, even during purely institutional occasions. It also reflects a broader market trend where leading clubs deny negotiations while rumors about marquee targets like Olise continue to circulate.
