Bayern Munich will not sell Real Madrid-linked winger even for a record bid – Romano
Real Madrid were treated to a dazzling display by Michael Olise earlier this week as he helped Bayern Munich secure a 2-1 win at the Santiago Bernabeu in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final first leg.
The 24-year-old Frenchman had already been on Real Madrid’s radar, and following his exemplary display at the Bernabeu, it is expected that Los Blancos will intensify their efforts to sign him in the summer.
Bayern Munich will not well
However, according to Fabrizio Romano, Bayern Munich simply have no intention of letting Olise go anytime soon.
There have been talks of Real Madrid preparing a mammoth offer of around €160-165 million for the winger ahead of the summer window.
Despite that, the reigning Bundesliga champions are uninterested in entering into negotiations with any club over the potential sale of Olise anytime soon.
Bayern Munich are very happy with the former Crystal Palace star and will not consider selling him in the summer even for a record fee, Romano states.
It must be noted that Olise has a long-term contract with Bayern Munich until 2029 and there is no release clause embedded in it.
It gives the Bavarians all the power in any negotiations and, as such, a summer departure is pretty much out of the question.
Romano also highlights that Uli Hoeness, the honorary president of Bayern Munich, has made it clear that the club will not entertain offers of €200 million for Olise.
So, as things stand, there is simply no chance that Real Madrid or any other club can pry Olise away from the reigning champions of Germany in the summer.

Arsenal in contact with Real Madrid forward’s camp over potential transfer – report
Doubts about Rodrygo Goes’ long-term future at Real Madrid having been growing for some time.
The Brazilian’s situation had become uncomfortable over the past couple of seasons as he experienced a sudden decline in form. And, just when it seemed like he was about to turn things around, an ACL injury ruled him out in March earlier this year.
With Rodrygo now facing an extended spell on the sidelines, his recovery will be crucial. He is expected to return in December or January, and the club will monitor how he responds physically before determining what role he will play under Jose Mourinho.
Arsenal keeping tabs on Rodrygo
Now, according to TEAMtalk (h/t Bernabeu Digital), Arsenal are in contact with Rodrygo’s representatives over a potential future move.
The report states that the Gunners had already attempted to sign the Brazilian before his injury, and their interest has now resurfaced ahead of a possible move in the summer of 2027.
The Premier League champions had also explored the possibility of signing Vinicius Jr. from Real Madrid this past summer, before he signed a new long-term contract at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Now, their attention seems to have switched Vinicius’ fellow Brazilian forward who is closing in on his return from the ACL rupture.
Real Madrid want to keep Rodrygo until the summer
As already reported, Rodrygo will not leave Real Madrid in January. The intention is for the winger to regain full fitness and become available to Mourinho for the second half of the season.
Real Madrid are not considering selling the former Santos wonderkid during the January transfer window.
Instead, the club intend to reassess his situation next summer, once he has had the opportunity to recover and demonstrate his form on the pitch.
The plan is to have the Brazilian fit and available for the second half of the campaign before making a final decision at the end of the season.
Rodrygo’s performances after returning from injury, together with Mourinho’s assessment of his role in the squad, will help determine what happens next.
Depending on those factors, Real Madrid could consider allowing him to leave or decide that he still has an important future at the Santiago Bernabeu.
For now, Arsenal’s interest remains a possibility to watch, but Real Madrid are focused on Rodrygo’s recovery rather than negotiating a January departure.
