The name Michael Olise is making headlines all over Europe \u2013 and now also for a spectacular transfer appeal from England. While the Frenchman is shining at FC Bayern from week to week, the first voices on the island are already dreaming aloud of a transfer. But in Munich, this fantasy is coming up against a clear limit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Former international Jermaine Pennant gave free rein to his wish during the Champions League spectacle between Paris Saint-Germain and FC Bayern (5:4). \u201eLiverpool should go out and get Olise now, whatever the cost. That\u2019s your replacement for Mo Salah. COST IT WHATEVER IT WANTS. Any amount plus Gakpo,\u201c he wrote on X. An appeal that may attract attention, but has little substance in reality<\/p>\n

Because nobody at FC Bayern is currently thinking of letting the attacking star go. On the contrary: those responsible are positioning themselves clearly \u2013 and unmistakably<\/p>\n

Liverpool go out and get Olise right now, at all costs. There is your replacement for Mo salah. AT ALL COSTS. Any amount plus gakpo.<\/p>\n

Bayern draw a clear line<\/p>\n

Supervisory board member Karl-Heinz Rummenigge recently made it clear what the stance at S\u00e4bener Stra\u00dfe is. \u201eThere is no price tag for a player like Olise that would make us flinch,\u201c explained the 70-year-old<\/a>. Even sums above the \u20ac200 million mark would not trigger any serious discussion at the moment<\/p>\n

A remarkable statement \u2013 especially in times when hardly any player is considered truly unsellable. But in the case of Olise, FC Bayern seems to be deliberately sending out a signal: the Frenchman is not only indispensable in sporting terms, but is also a central face of the club\u2019s future plans<\/p>\n

From transfer coup to key player

Looking back, the \u20ac53 million transfer from Crystal Palace seems like an absolute stroke of luck. Within a very short space of time, Olise has developed into one of the defining players at the German record champions \u2013 and is now one of the best wingers in the world<\/p>\n

His mixture of creativity, efficiency and intelligence makes him almost irreplaceable in Vincent Kompany\u2019s system, as well as a quality that is particularly appreciated internally: his reserved, almost media-shy manner<\/p>\n

Rummenigge also emphasized precisely this point: \u201eHe is a wonderful player. I also like the fact that he is so reserved and almost media-shy. That is the exception in today\u2019s world.\u201c<\/p>\n

Bayern deliberately sets an example<\/p>\n

It is therefore hardly surprising that clubs such as Liverpool and Real Madrid are keeping an eye on the Frenchman, but Munich are responding to this desire with a clear strategy: sealing themselves off instead of negotiating<\/p>\n

The term \u201eunsellable\u201c may often be relative in modern soccer \u2013 but at FC Bayern it serves as a deliberate signal to the market in this case. Olise should remain the face of the attack in the long term<\/p>\n

Or to put it another way: while people in England are dreaming out loud, things have long been clear in Munich. Michael Olise is not for sale, and that is unlikely to change any time soon.<\/p>\n
