Bayern Munich CEO Scoffs at Michael Olise and Luis Diaz Transfer Rumors: “We’re Not Idiots!”
Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has humorously dismissed transfer speculation concerning Michael Olise and Luis Diaz. Addressing the Munich Press Club, Dreesen downplayed recent reports that suggested Olise was a target for Real Madrid and that Diaz might be heading to Saudi Pro League club Al-Hilal. The Bayern executive stated that the German champions have not received any inquiries regarding either player.
Dreesen Denies Olise and Diaz Exits
Regarding Olise, who is reportedly valued at €170 million, Dreesen remarked on the surprising nature of unfounded rumors. "It's astonishing what kind of rumors can be spread when you know the truth yourself," he said. "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 unconvinced when questioned about reports suggesting a potential departure for Diaz to Al-Hilal.
"We'd be idiots, wouldn't we?" Dreesen stated. "We have such a wonderful team, honestly. Let's just start the season and score a few goals."
