Curiously, Markus Krösche recently addressed the rumour of Real Madrid’s interest in Olise on ZDF’s ‘Aktuelles Sportstudio’ programme, when responding to a dig from DFB honorary president Uli Hoeneß. “If Michael Olise wants to go to Real Madrid, then there will be opportunities for that,” he said.
However, it is understood that Olise feels very much at home in Munich, enjoys life in the Bavarian capital and is also highly regarded within the team. And the sporting prospects are looking good too. With just a few months to go until the end of the season, Bayern are still in contention on all three fronts. The league title is within reach, the FCB are in the semi-finals of the DFB-Pokal, and in the Champions League quarter-finals, the eagerly anticipated clash with Real Madrid is set for 7 and 15 April.
