Lothar Matthaus ‘completely relaxed’ over Michael Olise transfer links to Real Madrid

Bayern Munich legend Lothar Matthaus has addressed the growing speculation surrounding Michael Olise and a potential move to Real Madrid. The former midfielder insists he remains unconcerned by the rumours.

In the past week there has been speculation about the future of Olise, but I see it completely relaxed. Uli Hoeness already took a clear position a few weeks ago and explained that the player is staying at Bayern and Real Madrid can save themselves the call.

Matthaus noted that the club's firm stance is justified by the winger's impressive output. Last season, Olise recorded 25 goals and 28 assists in 57 appearances, proving to be a constant attacking threat. The former Bayern star also pointed out that Olise is significantly more effective playing on the right wing for the German champions than in the central role he has occupied for the national team.

Looking ahead, Matthaus believes that the club is not yet finished with its squad planning. He expressed confidence that Bayern Munich will assemble a squad even stronger than the previous campaign to compete for further silverware.
