Shocker! Bayern won’t sell Olise this winter (Sport Bild’s Christian Falk)
Sometimes a rumor is dumb and it just gets ignored, but other times it is so outlandishly stupid someone has to step to the podium and acknowledge it, just to shoot it down.
Enter Sport Bild’s Christian Falk.
When buffoonish stories started to break that Bayern Munich would consider selling star winger Michael Olise this winter, Falk shut down the nonsense:
❌ It is NOT TRUE: Bayern would consider selling Michael Olise in January if the right offer came in. There is absolutely no chance of selling the Frenchman
in the January transfer window. Bayern are not a club that normally deals in the winter; they won’t sell any players they need for their season. They want to win the Champions League this year. So, there’ll be no amount where Bayern could be persuaded into parting ways with Olise early. The former Crystal Palace man will play for Bayern Munich for sure this season and there’s no chance to get him. Not for Real Madrid, PSG or any Premier League club. He will stay put.
Olise might eventually leave Bayern Munich, but it was never going to be this winter. That would be a special kind of madness.

Bayern Alumni #2: Sanches to Getafe? (Foot Mercato)
Speaking of former Bayern Munich flops, Renato Sanches could land on his feet with Getafe (which would actually be a great spot for him):
Released from the final year of his contract by PSG this summer, Renato Sanches is among the most sought-after free agents this September. The Lisbon native firmly rejected lucrative offers from MLS, Saudi Arabia, and Brazil, preferring a sporting project in Europe, where Premier League (Chelsea) and Ligue 1 (LOSC) clubs expressed interest in his free agent status and top-level experience. Now, the Portuguese international (32 caps) has a good chance of joining La Liga. According to our latest reports, the former Lille player has already given his preference to Getafe, currently 15th in the league. Attracted by the promise of playing time at a “Big 5” club and the opportunity to reunite with familiar faces from the Belgian league like Orel Mangala and Martin Satriano, the 29-year-old wants to move to the Madrid suburbs. According to our information, discussions are underway between the various parties.
