The French winger Michael Olise has expressed to his national teammates during the World Cup his intention to leave Bayern Munich to join Real Madrid, according to this Friday's front page of L'Equipe.
Real Madrid has on the table the explicit desire of Michael Olise to wear white next season. The 24-year-old French player has communicated to his teammates during the World Cup that his priority is to leave Bayern Munich and join the Madrid team, as revealed this Friday by L'Equipe on its front page.
The white club is already aware of the player's position and, according to the same sources, plans to activate negotiations at the end of the World Cup to try to close a transfer that is set to be one of the most complex in the market. The main obstacle is Bayern's refusal to negotiate his exit.
Bayern closes the door on Olise's exit
The operation will not be simple. The president of Bayern, Herbert Hainer, already sent a clear message weeks ago:
“Florentino Pérez can save himself an offer for Olise, we do not want to sell.”The forward has a contract until 2029 with the Bavarian club, which puts the German club in a strong position. However, the player's will could change the game.
According to L'Equipe, Dayton Upamecano, Olise's teammate at Bayern and in the French national team, has tried to convince him to stay in Munich, but so far without success. The winger sees Real Madrid as the necessary step for his career.
Bellingham or Vinicius, possible exits to make room
Olise's arrival, if it materialises, could lead to movements in the white squad. The French newspaper speculates that Jude Bellingham, whose relationship with Mbappé is not at its best, or Vinicius, who still needs to sit down to negotiate his renewal, would be the candidates to leave to free up space and funds.
Real Madrid had previously attempted an approach, but Bayern remained inflexible. Now, with the player pushing for an exit, the board led by Florentino Pérez will have to decide whether to put a bid close to 150 million euros on the table, as was mentioned in the last electoral campaign.
For Madrid fans, the news arrives in the midst of a summer of rumours, with the team immersed in a pre-season tour of the United States. If confirmed, Olise would become the second major signing of the summer after the arrival of Endrick, bolstering an attack that already includes Mbappé, Vinicius, and Rodrygo.
The next step will be to wait for the outcome of the World Cup, where France is still alive in the competition. If the French team is eliminated, negotiations could accelerate. Meanwhile, Real Madrid remains calm and trusts in the player's determination.
