Real Madrid have issued an official statement denying any interest in Michael Olise, the Bayern Munich and France winger. The club states it has had "no direct or indirect contact with the player in question, his representatives, or people in his circle." The statement, unusually explicit in dismissing a rumor, goes beyond denying a bid: it also denies any form of prior approach. Real Madrid also regrets the spread of "speculation that does not correspond to reality." The statement includes an explicit reference to the institutional relationship between the two clubs, stressing that any interest in a Bayern player should first be dealt with between the clubs themselves. The denial comes after several media outlets pointed to the French winger as a target for Real Madrid in the transfer market. Olise, 23, joined Bayern last summer from Crystal Palace and has just completed his first season in the Bundesliga. The summer transfer window is open, and the player’s situation has not changed following the statement. Real Madrid have closed the door, at least for now, to any deal.
