French winger Michael Olise wants a move to Real Madrid in the current summer transfer window, according to renowned journalist Santi Aouna. The 24-year-old Bayern Munich star is reportedly convinced that joining the Spanish giants is the perfect next step for his career.
Bayern Munich’s Stance: “Olise is Not for Sale”
Publicly, Bayern Munich is maintaining a firm stance on their star player. Club president Herbert Hainer stated that Real Madrid’s Florentino Perez “can save himself the trouble” as the German club has no intention of selling. Other Bayern officials have dismissed the Spanish media reports as mere exaggeration.
Bradley Barcola Eyed as Potential Replacement
Behind the scenes, however, Bayern is beginning to prepare for the worst. While the Bavarian club is trying to extend Olise’s contract—which currently runs until 2029—Sporting Director Max Eberl has already identified Paris Saint-Germain winger Bradley Barcola as a top target to replace Olise if a transfer materializes.
Any potential deal for Olise will be incredibly expensive, as his contract contains no release clause. Spanish outlet Marca previously reported that Real Madrid—now managed by Jose Mourinho—is prepared to launch a record-breaking bid exceeding €200 million to secure the Frenchman’s services.
What’s Next for Olise?
Olise is expected to hold talks with Bayern Munich’s board following the conclusion of his World Cup campaign (where France was eliminated by Spain in the semi-finals). These discussions will determine his long-term future, and Real Madrid will be monitoring the situation closely for any breakthrough.
Olise’s Incredible 2025-2026 Stats
This transfer saga comes after a sensational season for Olise at Bayern Munich. During the 2025-2026 campaign, he registered:
-
22 goals and 26 assists across all competitions.
-
The most assists at the 2026 World Cup (5 assists).
-
Ranked second only to Lionel Messi in big chances created at the tournament.
Olise originally joined Bayern Munich from Crystal Palace for €60 million and has since attracted interest from elite European clubs, including Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester City, and Liverpool.
