Bayern Munich honorary president, Uli Hoeneß has dismissed any suggestion that José Mourinho could lure Michael Olise away from the German champions, following Mourinho’s appearance at the DFB-Pokal final.
Mourinho’s presence at the match in Berlin sparked immediate speculation in German and international media that the veteran coach was closely monitoring Olise, who has quickly become one of Bayern’s standout attacking talents since his arrival.
The French winger’s performances have drawn widespread attention across Europe, with several top clubs believed to be tracking his progress.
But Hoeneß was quick to shut down the rumours with his trademark bluntness, making it clear Bayern have no intention of entertaining offers for the player.
As reported by Fabrizio Romano on X on Saturday, Hoeneß was quoted as saying, “Mourinho can keep five eyes on Olise — he won’t get him,” underlining Bayern’s stance that the player is not for sale.
The remark reflects Bayern’s broader strategy of protecting their key young stars as they look to build a squad capable of sustained European success.
Olise, still early in his Bayern career, is viewed internally as a long-term cornerstone of the club’s attacking future.
PUNCH Online had reported that Bayern Munich had moved quickly to shut down any speculation surrounding Michael Olise, with its sporting director, Max Eberl, delivering a firm and unambiguous message about the club’s stance on the French winger.
