Honorary President Uli Hoeneß also weighed in. Speaking at the 'data:unplugged' AI festival, he commented on Olise, a potential successor to Salah at Liverpool: "Liverpool have already spent 500 million euros this year and are having a very poor season. We won’t be helping them to play better next year."
Even immoral offers couldn’t change this: “We play this game for our fans. We have 430,000 members, we have millions of fans worldwide, and it doesn’t help them much if we have 200 million euros in the bank but play worse football every Saturday because of it.”
Reportedly, Olise feels very much at home in Munich, is enjoying life in the Bavarian capital and is also highly regarded within the squad. And the sporting prospects are looking good too: with just a few months left in the season, Bayern are still in contention on all three fronts. The league title is within reach, 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.
