Bayern shut down Olise sale - Real Madrid turn to Diomande

Bayern Munich have ended all speculation about Michael Olise joining Real Madrid. According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the Bundesliga champions made it clear the French winger is not for sale and will stay at the club. Bayern sporting director Christoph Freund publicly killed the rumours, saying: "Olise at Real Madrid? That is not a topic for us at all. We are looking forward to having him back from vacation. He will play an important role for us this season." Last season, the 22-year-old registered 22 goals and 31 assists in 52 appearances, and his contract runs until the summer of 2029. Facing a firm rejection, the Spanish giants have quickly shifted their transfer focus. Real Madrid's new priority is now Leipzig center-back Yan Diomande. Reports indicate that the club has already directed all efforts toward this deal, with earlier claims suggesting a €120 million bid is being prepared.
