    Key details

  • • Uli Hoeneß denies rumors of selling Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Díaz.
  • • Hoeneß emphasizes the value and confidence in Bayern's current attacking trio.
  • • Speculation about Olise's potential transfer to Real Madrid is dismissed.
  • • Insiders hint at ongoing discussions around Kane but no confirmed transfer plans.

Bayern Munich's management has decisively dismissed ongoing rumors about the potential sale of key players, including striker Harry Kane. Uli Hoeneß, Bayern's honorary president, openly rejected speculation of selling talents such as Kane, Michael Olise, and Luis Díaz during a statement in Rottach-Egern on July 31, 2026. Hoeneß highlighted the value of the current players, questioning the logic of selling them after significant investment while chasing uncertain replacements. “We must be crazy. You spend 60 or 70 million, might get 120 back, and then chase after others whose performance is uncertain here,” Hoeneß stated, emphasizing Bayern’s confidence in its squad.

Despite rumors circulating around Olise, including interest from Real Madrid, Hoeneß humorously dismissed these by pointing out Olise’s contract still has three years remaining, making any prospective sale unrealistic. He confidently asserted that Bayern currently boasts what he considers the best attacking trio in the world: Díaz, Kane, and Olise. Complementing this, insider insights shared by Bayern experts Christian Falk and Heiko Niedderer referenced the so-called "Kane-Poker," indicating ongoing discussions surrounding Kane's situation but without confirming any imminent transfer action.

The club’s position remains firm on retaining its top players amid swirling transfer speculations, reinforcing Bayern’s intent to maintain a strong, competitive squad going forward.
