Two reasons Bayern are confident of keeping Michael Olise
Bayern Munich remain confident of holding on to Michael Olise this summer, buoyed by a personal assurance from Florentino Pérez and direct reassurance from the player himself during the World Cup.
Speculation linking Olise to Real Madrid intensified following his standout displays for France at the World Cup, with reports suggesting Los Blancos view him as an ideal fit alongside Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Júnior.
Bayern, however, continue to insist the 24-year-old remains central to their long-term project, with his contract running through 2029, and are relying on two reasons to assure themselves the Frenchman will stay beyond the summer.
Why Bayern are confident of keeping Olise
1. Perez’s word behind the scenes
Beyond Real Madrid’s public denials, Bayern Munich are said to be leaning on a private assurance from club president Florentino Pérez, who has personally told Bayern that Los Blancos are not pursuing Olise this summer and have no plans to move now.
The trust runs deep: Bayern reportedly have complete faith in Pérez’s word, a confidence rooted in what’s described as an exceptional working relationship between the two clubs.
2. Michael Olise’s own message
The second pillar of Bayern’s confidence came directly from Olise and his camp during the Club World Cup, where the winger is understood to have communicated no intention of leaving Munich, expressing instead a desire to stay.
As things stand, neither Olise nor his representatives have signalled any wish to depart this summer, according to the report.
