Jose Mourinho’s trip to Berlin has caused all sorts of drama over in Munich.
The incoming Real Madrid coach was filmed watching Bayern Munich’s 3-0 DFB Cup final win over Stuttgart where Harry Kane starred with a hat-trick.
However, Sky Germany have revealed that Mourinho was there watching his teammate Michael Olise.
In response, honorary Bayern president Uli Hoeness said: “I hope I don’t run into him, because the trip would have been unnecessary.
“You can put five eyes on him, it’s useless, he’s non-transferable.”
Mourinho was sat with Hendrik Schauerte, Gestifute’s representative for the German transfer market.
BILD add that after the game he had a meeting with Stuttgart’s sporting director, Fabian Wohlgemuth, with Angelo Stiller a long term target for Madrid.
Mourinho is currently waiting to be named Madrid coach, an announcement that’s been delayed by Florentino Perez’s shock late election call.
Perez is expected to win comfortably given the short notice, but Enrique Riquelme stepping up as a challenger means he must step down before being re-elected on June 7th.
That means Mourinho’s signing from Benfica has to be put on hold, and Madrid may end up having to pay more for the coach as a 10-day window to depart in his contract expires on May 27th.
As for Olise, Mourinho doesn’t have much hope there, with Madrid continually stating that the Frenchman isn’t available for any price.
Sporting director Max Eberl recently commented: “We’re not giving it a second thought.
“He’s an FC Bayern player and has all the opportunities here that top players could wish for. We want to shape the future with him.
“Olise knows what he has in us, and vice versa. It’s a good fit.”
Hoeness went further, saying any fee is pointless.
He was asked about Liverpool’s interest in the attacker and had a shot at them before explaining.
“If that’s true—and I don’t believe it is, but Liverpool have already spent €500 million this year and are having a very poor season,” he said.
“So we won’t be contributing to them playing better next year. We play this game for our fans.
“We have 430,000 members, we have many millions of fans all over the world, and it does them little good if we have 200 million in the bank and then play worse football every Saturday because of it.”
