There are wild rumors about a change for one of FC Bayern’s top performers. The long-time creator of the German record champions now becomes clear.
16 goals and 27 assists in 39 competitive games so far this season: Michael Olise will also be one of the top performers at FC Bayern Munich in 2025/26. And is apparently also attracting more and more interest from other top European clubs. It was recently reported that Liverpool FC was even prepared to pay around 200 million euros for the Frenchman.
Now Bavaria’s Honorary President Uli Hoeneß has reacted to the wild speculation – with clear words: Selling Olise is out of the question for the Munich team – even for extremely high sums. “If that’s true (the 200 million euros, editor’s note), I don’t think it’s true, but Liverpool spent 500 million this year and are playing a very bad season. So we won’t help them play better next year,” said Hoeneß at the AI festival “data:unplugged”. Muenster.
Hoeneß became even clearer and emphasized that such a high transfer fee was not the deciding factor. Because: “We play this game for our fans. We have 430,000 members, we have many millions of fans all over the world, and it is of little use to them if we have 200 million in the account and therefore play bad football every Saturday,” he clarified.
Bayern sports director Max Eberl also recently assessed the situation calmly. “Michael has a contract with us until 2029, without an exit clause – we are relaxed,” he told Sport Bild.
In addition to Liverpool, other top clubs are also linked with Olise. Real Madrid, Munich’s quarter-final opponent in the Champions League, is said to be preparing an offer of 165 million euros. Manchester City is also said to be interested.
