Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen said Tuesday it would be “foolish” to let Luis Diaz leave while confirming Michael Olise would stay with the Bundesliga champions next season.

n

Speaking at a press club event in Munich, the Bayern boss shot down speculation the club’s star wingers could be headed out the door.

n

Olise, who impressed in France’s run to the World Cup semi-finals, has been linked with Real Madrid for weeks while some have speculated Diaz may be set for a big-money move to Saudi Arabia.

n

“It’s surprising to see what gets said when you know the truth yourself; it’s interesting,” the 58-year-old said.

n

Dreesen said Olise would “obviously” be at Bayern next season and said he had received “zero” calls from Real “and not a single letter, fax or email either.”

n

Asked about Diaz, Dreesen said: “the same applies there: no calls, nothing else.

n

“We’d be foolish to do so. We have such a good team; let them play and score goals.”

n

Both Diaz, who joined in 2025, and 2024-arrival Olise are at Bayern on deals which expire in 2029.

n

The CEO was confident England captain Harry Kane would extend his contract at the club, which is set to expire at the end of next season.

n

“There’s a strong desire (to extend) on both sides. We’ll have to see how that desire aligns.”

n

Kane, who turned 33 on Tuesday, scored 61 goals and laid on seven assists in 51 matches in all competitions for Bayern last season.
