Bayern Munich CEO: Diaz, Olise set to stay

Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has firmly stated that winger Michael Olise will remain with the Bundesliga champions for the upcoming season, quashing persistent transfer rumors. Dreesen described any suggestion of letting Olise depart as "foolish," emphasizing the player's importance to the team.

It’s surprising to see what gets said when you know the truth yourself; it’s interesting.

Speaking at a press club event in Munich, Dreesen addressed speculation linking Olise, who impressed during France's World Cup semi-final run, with a move to Real Madrid. He stated that the club had received "zero" contact from the Spanish giants regarding Olise. "We'd be foolish to do so. We have such a good team; let them play and score goals," Dreesen remarked, indicating his confidence in the current squad.

the same applies there: no calls, nothing else.

The CEO also applied similar certainty to the situation surrounding Luis Diaz, who has been rumored to be a target for a lucrative move to Saudi Arabia. Dreesen asserted that the same principle applied to Diaz as to Olise, with no official inquiries received from any interested clubs. Both Diaz, who joined Bayern in 2025, and Olise, a 2024 arrival, are contracted until 2029.

“

We’d be foolish to do so. We have such a good team; let them play and score goals.

Furthermore, Dreesen expressed optimism about retaining captain Harry Kane, whose contract is set to expire at the end of next season. He noted a "strong desire" from both sides to extend the agreement and indicated that negotiations would continue. Kane had a prolific first season with Bayern, scoring 61 goals and providing seven assists in 51 appearances across all competitions.

There’s a strong desire (to extend) on both sides. We’ll have to see how that desire aligns.
