Real Madrid has made notable strides in strengthening their squad this summer, securing the signings of Marc Cucurella, Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konate, and Bernardo Silva. With the transfer window approaching its close, the club is expected to make one or two additional signings while also focusing on potential departures.

Jose Mourinho has expressed the need for another midfielder and a center-back. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich forward Michael Olise has been one of the players who is linked with the Merengue club in recent weeks.

Bayern has reiterated on multiple occasions that the French forward is not for sale and expects him to be a crucial part of their offense next season. Despite ongoing links to Real Madrid, the Bundesliga club appears increasingly confident in retaining Olise.

This confidence is underscored by a report from Diario AS, which notes that Olise featured prominently in a video released by Bayern Munich to showcase their new kit for the upcoming season. Many viewers interpret his prominent role in the video as a sign of the club’s assurance that Olise will remain with them.

The report cites Sky Germany, stating that part of this assurance stems from communication from Real Madrid, conveyed by Florentino Perez, indicating that the club will not pursue Olise this summer. Furthermore, Olise and his representatives have communicated to Bayern Munich that the player’s intention is to stay with the Bundesliga club for the upcoming season.
