It's astonishing what can end up being spread, according to Bayern Munich's chairman, Jan-Christian Dreesen, who has slammed fake transfer claims linking winger Michael Olise to Real Madrid.
Speaking at a Presse Club München event, Dreesen made it crystal clear that Olise will be staying at the Bavarian club.
Bayern's chairman took aim at the numerous fake news stories circulating about the 24-year-old's future, saying they were "really quite interesting". Dreesen quipped that not a single person had suggested he should sell Olise if Real Madrid offered €200 million.
The chairman also confirmed that there had been no contact from Real Madrid regarding Olise's transfer. "Yes, of course [he will stay]. (…) [There was] no call, no letter and no fax from Real Madrid," Dreesen explained.
Dreesen's comments come as a response to the increasing number of transfer rumours surrounding Olise. The winger has been a key player for Bayern Munich, helping the team secure several important victories.
The Presse Club München event was an opportunity for Dreesen to address the public and provide clarity on the situation surrounding Olise's future.
Bayern Munich's chairman has been vocal about the importance of managing transfer rumours and protecting the club's interests.
The fake news surrounding Olise's future has likely caused confusion among fans and supporters of both Bayern Munich and Real Madrid.
Dreesen's comments serve as a reminder of the impact of social media on football transfer news.
