According to an exclusive report by French newspaper L’Équipe, French international winger Michael Olise has a definitive and resolute desire to join Real Madrid in the near future. The 24-year-old Bayern Munich star is reportedly determined to secure a move to the Spanish capital, with the newspaper describing his aspiration to play for the reigning European champions as an “obsession.” Olise views Real Madrid as his logical next career step and considers them “the greatest club in the world.”
However, this transfer ambition faces a major obstacle due to his current contractual situation. Olise is under contract with Bayern Munich until the summer of 2029. The Bavarian giants consider him an indispensable, non-transferable asset. In fact, Bayern is actively working to secure his long-term future, preparing an offer to extend his contract until 2031. This proposal would reportedly double his current annual salary of €15 million.
Inside Michael Olise’s Real Madrid Transfer Ambitions
L’Équipe highlighted several key details revealing the player’s strong desire to force a move to Santiago Bernabéu:
-
Discussions with French Stars: Olise has held direct talks with his French national team compatriots and Real Madrid players, Kylian Mbappé and Aurélien Tchouaméni, to inquire about the inner workings of the club.
-
Official Directive to Representatives: The winger has officially informed his agent and family of his final decision, requesting them to facilitate the transfer process.
-
Failed Persuasion Attempts: His Bayern Munich and France teammate, Dayot Upamecano, reportedly tried to convince him to stay in Germany and continue winning titles with the Bavarian side, but his efforts were unsuccessful.
Vinícius Júnior’s Future and Real Madrid’s Financial Plan
Sports reports indicate that the Real Madrid board has not ruled out the departure of Brazilian winger Vinícius Júnior during the ongoing summer transfer window. Should Vinícius leave the club, the resulting financial windfall would significantly help the Merengues finance a high-profile move for Michael Olise.
Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez is highly administrative of the French winger’s technical abilities and football intelligence. This admiration could prompt the Spanish giants to make a massive push to sign him following the conclusion of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
If Bayern Munich eventually agrees to open negotiations, the transfer fee is estimated to reach between €150 million and €200 million, reflecting Olise’s sky-high market value.
