Finally, Hinze also reported that any rumors about a holdout were offbase:
🗣️ Marcel Schäfer (Managing Director) on Yan Diomande’s illness in recent days (he is now fit again):
„A boycott or a strike was never an issue for us. Everyone has to decide for themselves what they spread and put out into the world. I find that extremely concerning and disappointing. This is about a young footballer and a human being.”
„I think it is very presumptuous and a worrying development that people are drawing those kinds of conclusions. You should be very careful and absolutely certain before making such claims.“

It looks like Real Madrid could be about to get its man.
BFW Commentary
Did Bayern Munich’s refusal to even talk about Michael Olise push Real Madrid into desperation mode? €140 million for a 20-year-old coming off of one good season, sure makes it seems like it.
Diomandé is an exciting talent, but this feels like it might be too much at this stage. Who knows, though? Maybe it will end up looking like a steal at this time next year.
