The latest to address the situation is Bayern legend Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, who has offered the calmest response yet to the noise around Olise. Uli Hoeneß, Honorary President at Bayern Munich, came out with strong words over the weekend, saying of the links: “Liverpool spent 500 million this year and are having a very bad season,” he said in response to the Liverpool links with Olise.

“So we won’t be contributing to them playing better next year”,” he said. We have 430,000 members, we have many millions of fans around the world, and it does them little good if we have 200 million more in the bank and play worse football every Saturday because of that” Meanwhile, sporting director Max Eberl said: “We don’t waste any thought on that,” said Eberl.” He’s an FC Bayern player and has all the opportunities here that top players want.” “Michael has a contract with us until 2029, without a release clause – we are relaxed.” Finally, Meanwhile, CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen added: “Anyone who plays for FC Bayern knows what he has at FC Bayern.” For Liverpool, those remarks don’t kill any long‑term interest in the Frenchman, but they do hammer home just how tough and costly it would be to get him out of Bayern.
