Bayern Rule Out Diaz and Olise Exits Amid Transfer Speculation
Bayern Munich have dismissed growing speculation surrounding the futures of Luis Diaz and Michael Olise, insisting both wingers remain central to the club’s long-term plans.
Chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen made it clear that the Bundesliga champions have no intention of allowing either player to leave before the new season begins.
His comments come amid reports linking Olise with a move to Real Madrid, while Diaz has been tipped for a lucrative transfer to Saudi Arabia.
According to Dreesen, Bayern have not received any formal approach from interested clubs for either player. He stressed that the club sees no reason to break up a talented attacking unit that has already shown its quality since both stars arrived in Munich.
Diaz joined Bayern in 2025, while Olise signed a year earlier. Both players remain under long-term contracts that run until 2029, giving the German champions confidence over their futures.
The Bayern chief also addressed the situation surrounding captain Harry Kane, whose current contract is entering its final year.
Dreesen expressed optimism that discussions over a new deal would eventually lead to an agreement, noting that both the club and the England striker are interested in continuing their partnership.
Kane enjoyed another outstanding campaign, finishing among Europe’s most prolific forwards with an impressive goal tally and several assists across all competitions.
His performances were instrumental in Bayern’s domestic success and reinforced his importance to the squad.
As Bayern prepare for another season of competing for domestic and European honours, the club’s leadership appears determined to keep its core players together.
By rejecting transfer speculation and backing its current squad, Bayern are sending a strong message that stability remains a key part of their strategy heading into the new campaign.
