Bayern Munich CEO Laughs Off Michael Olise and Luis Diaz Transfer Rumors: “We’re not stupid!”
Bayern Munich's CEO, Jan-Christian Dreesen, has publicly dismissed speculation surrounding potential transfers for Michael Olise and Luis Diaz. Addressing the press at the Munich Press Club, Dreesen refuted reports that had linked Olise to Real Madrid and Diaz to Al-Hilal of the Saudi Pro League. He emphasized that Bayern Munich has received no offers for either player.
Dreesen Confirms No Intent to Sell Olise or Diaz
Dreesen expressed his surprise at the circulation of such rumors, especially concerning Michael Olise, who is reportedly valued at €170 million. "It's astonishing what kind of rumors can be spread when you know the truth yourself," Dreesen commented, adding, "I haven’t heard a single person [whom I know personally] say: ‘For €200 million, you have to sell him.’ He still has three years left on his contract."
The Bayern CEO was equally firm in his stance regarding Luis Diaz. When questioned about reports of a potential move to Al-Hilal, Dreesen stated, "We’d be stupid, wouldn’t we? We have such a wonderful team, honestly. Let’s just start the season and score a few goals."
