Real Madrid have denied making contact with Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, issuing an official clarification after recent reports linked the La Liga club with interest in the France international.
AS reported that Madrid's statement said the club had not held direct or indirect contact with Olise, his representatives or people around him. The club also stressed its institutional relationship with Bayern Munich.
Real Madrid Address Olise Reports
The denial is narrow but important: Madrid did not announce a transfer position on Olise's long-term value, and it did not say another club could not admire him. It addressed contact, representatives and protocol.
AS published the statement on June 20 and framed it as a response to media reports about Madrid interest in the Bayern player. Bavarian Football Works also carried the clarification in English, noting that Madrid and Manchester City had both been linked with Olise in recent days.
The reliable point for readers is the official denial itself. Madrid said it had made no direct or indirect approach to the player or his circle, and that speculation about such contact did not match reality.
Bayern Relationship Becomes Part Of The Story
Madrid's statement also leaned on its relationship with Bayern, saying the clubs have a long history of mutual respect and that any potential interest in a player belonging to the other club should first be handled between the clubs.
That club-to-club language matters because transfer stories often move faster than formal talks. Madrid used the statement to separate reported market interest from a verified approach, which keeps the public record cleaner for both clubs.
Olise's name has drawn attention because he is a high-end attacking player at a major European club. The articles reviewed for this piece did not verify an offer, a fee agreement, a player agreement or permission from Bayern for talks.
What Is Verified Now
The verified development is procedural: Real Madrid publicly denied contact with Michael Olise or his representatives, while also signaling respect for Bayern Munich's ownership of the player.
For La Liga and Bundesliga readers, that is still a meaningful transfer-window update. It tells fans what Madrid is willing to put on the record, and it narrows the story from loose speculation to a specific denial from the club itself.
