Real Madrid’s last‑minute hijack leaves Bayern CEO to deny Olise chase

Real Madrid are reported to be on the brink of completing the signing of highly‑rated RB Leipzig winger Yan Diomande, while Bayern Munich’s chief executive Jan‑Christian Dreesen has categorically denied any Real Madrid interest in Michael Olise. The Merengue supporters are understandably excited about the potential arrival of the young winger.

The Spanish club’s pursuit of Diomande is driven by a desire to bolster their attacking options, and fans see the move as a direct answer to the lack of depth in the forward line. With the addition of the RB Leipzig talent, the Merengue expect to enhance their goal‑scoring threat for the upcoming season.

One of the richest and most powerful clubs in Europe, Paris Saint-Germain, were previously close to landing him, but Los Blancos hijacked this move in the last stages, leaving the French side naturally displeased with the recent developments. The Saint‑Germain bid highlighted the high demand for the winger across top clubs.

Bayern chairman dismisses Real Madrid link for Olise

Bayern Munich, meanwhile, breathe a sigh of relief as the threat of losing their star forward Michael Olise to the Spanish giants has faded. Throughout the summer, Olise had been linked with a move to Real Madrid, but the Diomande signing means there is no space left in the Merengues’ forward line for another player of his stature.

CEO Jan‑Christian Dreesen clarified that Bayern had never received any offer from Los Blancos for the French forward, stating: “We did not receive a single phone call, letter, or fax regarding Olise. Nothing at all of what was reported is true. There was never anything from Madrid.”

He added that Olise is not on the market and will remain with Bayern: “Of course he will stay with us. He is a player we value highly and who has delivered great performances for us. There are no doubts in this case, just as we have said that the player was not on the market. He is a great asset for Bayern.”

With the Diomande deal likely to be sealed, Real Madrid secure a promising winger to reinforce their attack, while Bayern focus on convincing Michael Olise to sign a new contract and retain his services for the long term.
