MUNICH, GERMANY – The honorary president of Bayern Munich, Uli Hoeneß, has firmly dismissed speculation linking Michael Olise with a move away from the club, insisting that the French winger is not available for transfer despite reported interest from top European managers, including José Mourinho.
Hoeneß made the remarks while addressing growing transfer rumours surrounding the 22-year-old forward, who has been widely praised for his impact since joining the Bundesliga giants.
The statement comes amid reports suggesting that Portuguese manager José Mourinho was monitoring Olise as part of potential squad reinforcement plans, sparking speculation about a possible high-profile move in the upcoming transfer windows.
However, Bayern’s leadership has moved quickly to shut down such claims, reinforcing their long-term commitment to retaining key attacking talents as the club continues to build for both domestic and European dominance.
Club Confirms Long-Term Project
According to club officials, Olise remains an important part of Bayern Munich’s long-term sporting project, particularly as the club continues to refresh its attacking structure with younger, technically gifted players.
Hoeneß stressed that Bayern are not under any pressure to sell the winger and have no intention of entering negotiations regarding his departure.
The club believes Olise’s creativity, pace, and attacking versatility make him a central figure in their evolving squad strategy.
Olise’s Rising Influence
Since his arrival, Olise has become an increasingly influential figure in Bayern’s attacking system, contributing with goals, assists, and consistent wide play that has strengthened the team’s offensive depth.
Coaching staff reportedly view him as a key long-term asset capable of shaping Bayern’s future frontline alongside other emerging talents.
Transfer Speculation Dismissed
The rumours linking Olise with a move to Mourinho’s side had circulated across European media in recent days, but Bayern officials insist there is no foundation to the claims.
Hoeneß described the speculation as unfounded, reinforcing the club’s position that key players will not be allowed to leave during ongoing squad development phases.
Looking Ahead
Bayern Munich are expected to focus on squad stability ahead of the next transfer window, with the club prioritising continuity as they pursue domestic and Champions League success.
For now, the message from Munich is clear: Michael Olise remains central to Bayern’s plans, and any potential exit discussions are off the table.
