Overview
- Real Madrid are weighing a reported €160–165 million bid for Michael Olise following Tuesday’s standout display in a 2-1 win at the Bernabéu, where he set up Harry Kane’s goal.
- Bayern’s board member for sport Max Eberl told Sky Germany on Friday that Olise is not for sale this summer, pointing to a long-term project and a contract that runs to 2029 with no release clause.
- Christian Falk reported that during a private lunch with Bayern executives this week, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez did not raise Olise, suggesting any approach will wait for the window.
- Olise has 16 goals and 29 assists in all competitions this season and sits on 18 league assists, leaving him three shy of the single-season Bundesliga record.
- Analysts and ex-players, including Thierry Henry, highlight Olise’s vision and decision-making, and Bayern are prioritizing an extension to anchor their attack around him for years to come.
