FC Bayern has recently declared on several occasions that Michael Olise is not for sale. While former Bayern manager Michael Reschke considers the Munich club’s stance understandable, he does not rule out the possibility that a massive offer could give the club’s leadership pause.
Speculation about a possible transfer of Michael Olise to Real Madrid persists. Although Bayern officials have repeatedly emphasized recently that they have no intention of letting the French national team player go, for longtime Bayern manager Michael Reschke, one thing is clear: there are few absolute certainties in the transfer market.
In an interview with the tz , the former technical director of the record champions first pointed out Munich’s strong negotiating position: “To assess the facts clearly, you’d have to know all the inside details—especially what kind of pressure Olise is exerting in his talks with FCB officials. Basically, FC Bayern already stands its ground very firmly. And when everyone is in agreement, ‘no’ means ‘no.’ Although…”
Reschke: At some point, a ‘no’ turns into a ‘maybe’
When asked whether there was nevertheless a figure at which Bayern would have to reconsider its stance, Reschke’s answer was unequivocal: “Well, there will always be a transfer fee at which such a ‘no’ would soften. Purely hypothetically: If Real were to offer a transfer fee well over 150 million euros, then the pros and cons would have to be carefully weighed—and at some point, a ‘no’ would turn into a ‘maybe’ and, in the end, possibly even a ‘yes.’”

});
})();
At the moment, however, there’s little to suggest the star forward will be leaving anytime soon. It was recently reported that Real Madrid likely wants to wait until the end of the transfer windowbefore making an official move. At the same time, several media reports indicate that FC Bayern remains unwilling to let its star player go.
Reschke also sees the record champions in a comfortable position. “Right now, a lot of it is speculation. In any case, Bayern Munich holds a very strong hand in this game of poker. And they’ve earned this position through the smart, early signing of Olise.”
