  "account": "Munich, Germany - August 28: Bayern Munich CEO Jan-Christian Dreesen has dismissed transfer rumors linking midfielder Michael Olise to Real Madrid as both amusing and frustrating. The CEO revealed that the club never took the speculation seriously, stating, \"It was nonsense back then, and it still is nonsense.\" Dreesen praised Olise for keeping the rumors in check, emphasizing his on-pitch performance over public attention. The CEO confirmed that Bayern Munich is not currently negotiating a new contract with Olise, as his existing deal runs until 2029. Despite the odd behavior that keeps fans guessing, Dreesen remains confident in Olise's abilities, predicting that his on-field excellence will continue to shine.",
