Overview
- Reports on Wednesday say Michael Olise wants to join Real Madrid after his World Cup breakthrough but Real believe a summer signing is not feasible and have not opened formal talks.
- Kylian Mbappé actively encouraged Olise to move to Madrid during the World Cup and told Real president Florentino Pérez about Olise’s preference, according to multiple outlets.
- Bayern are countering by preparing a long‑term contract upgrade that would raise Olise’s pay toward the reported region of €25 million a year and extend his stay through 2029.
- Olise has no release clause and is under contract until 2029, giving Bayern strong leverage and making the club resistant to selling even for fees reportedly above €200 million.
- The next clear step depends on a formal move by either the player or Bayern to open negotiations, with current reports saying no contact has taken place because of a tacit non‑approach understanding between the clubs.
