MUNICH (Sports Desk) — France national team winger Michael Olise has reportedly expressed a firm desire to leave Bayern Munich to secure a transfer to Real Madrid this summer. Reports published by the French sports daily L’Équipe reveal that the 24-year-old attacker has used his time with the national squad during the FIFA World Cup to signal his intentions to professional and family inner circles.
The forward has actively communicated his ambitions to French international teammates currently playing in the Spanish capital. According to L’Équipe, Olise held private discussions with Real Madrid attackers Kylian Mbappé and Aurélien Tchouaméni to gather information regarding the structural and internal environment at the Santiago Bernabéu. The revelations follow an initial disclosure by Foot Mercato detailing the player’s definitive career target.
The Spanish giants are fully aware of Olise’s transfer desire but are maintaining a calculated posture. Reports from Managing Madrid indicate that Real Madrid officials are waiting for the winger to hold a definitive structural meeting with Bayern Munich management before launching a formal financial package. Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is reportedly a long-term admirer of the player, and club directors are prepared to initiate formal contact once the World Cup concludes following the weekend’s final matches.
Securing the signature of the French international presents a severe logistical challenge for the La Liga side. Olise is currently bound to Bayern Munich under a long-term contract that runs until June 30, 2029, which contains no active release clauses. The German club’s president, Herbert Hainer, issued a sharp public response to the escalating transfer links, stating that Pérez could save himself the trouble of preparing a formal offer because the player remains entirely non-for-sale.
The internal stance within the Allianz Arena remains completely unbothered despite the intensifying media noise out of France. According to reporting from Sky Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg, published via Bulinews, Bayern Munich decision-makers are entirely relaxed because neither Olise nor his direct representatives have submitted an official request to leave. Instead, the Bundesliga champions are actively developing a contract extension outline that includes a salary increase to position the winger among the club’s top three highest earners.
Olise has established himself as one of Europe’s most statistically productive wide players since his €55 million move from Crystal Palace in July 2024. The left-footed winger has accumulated 32 goals and 46 assists across 107 competitive appearances for Bayern Munich. His valuation has subsequently tripled, with financial analysts estimating his current market clearance rate at approximately €150 million to €200 million.
Any potential multi-million euro bid by Real Madrid would require significant squad engineering to comply with financial sustainability regulations. European media outlets note that Madrid would likely have to sanction the sale of prominent first-team assets to absorb Olise’s acquisition cost and prevent dressing room friction. The transfer saga is expected to accelerate significantly after France concludes its international schedule against England in Saturday’s World Cup third-place play-off match.
