Olise sale? Sammer: „Bayern can pay its bills“ | OneFootball

The speculation surrounding Michael Olise and Real Madrid shows no sign of abating. While the royals are reportedly prepared to put up to 150 million euros on the table for the Bayern star, Matthias Sammer has now intervened with an unmistakable message

Michael Olise is currently one of the most sought-after players in world soccer. After an outstanding season at FC Bayern, the French international is the focus of numerous top clubs. Rumours surrounding Real Madrid are particularly persistent

According to consistent media reports, the newly re-elected Real president Florentino Pérez is said to have identified the 24-year-old as an absolute dream player, with the Whites even planning an offer of 150 million euros to convince Bayern to sell him

However, the team at Säbener Straße have repeatedly emphasized that Olise is not for sale, with president Herbert Hainer recently even publicly stating that Real Madrid could spare themselves an offer

Sammer is clearly against a sale

In an interview with Sky, former Bayern sports director Matthias Sammer was asked whether an offer of 150 million euros would make Munich think twice

His answer was clear: „If they can pay their bills – no!“ explained Sammer

For the 57-year-old, it is not just about the financial dimension of a potential transfer, but rather a fundamental question of club identity

„Why? Because it sends out a signal. FC Bayern is not a seller’s club,“ Sammer made clear

The 1996 European champion’s statements are in line with the line taken by those responsible at Bayern

Uli Hoeneß had recently emphasized that Olise would not be sold, even in the event of offers above the 200 million euro mark, and Herbert Hainer also made it clear that the Munich club had no interest in talks with Real Madrid

From FC Bayern’s point of view, Olise has long been far more than just a key player. The Frenchman is regarded as one of the new faces of the club and a central building block for its sporting future

With his goals, assists and spectacular actions, the attacking player has played his way into the hearts of Bayern fans in a very short space of time. At the same time, he is now one of the most valuable players in Europe

This is precisely why Sammer is critical of a sale: for him, a departure would not only be painful in sporting terms, but would also send out the wrong signal to the competition

The message from the former Bayern sports director is therefore clear: as long as the club is not economically forced to do so, a player like Michael Olise must not be sold

It remains to be seen whether Real Madrid will actually make an official offer, but one thing is clear: the resistance in Munich could hardly be greater.
