Bayern Munich forward Michael Olise has reportedly expressed his desire to leave the Bundesliga club and join Real Madrid next season. The 24-year-old French international allegedly informed his national teammates of his intentions during the FIFA World Cup, according to French newspaper L'รquipe.
Real Madrid is reportedly aware of Olise's interest and is expected to begin negotiations after the tournament concludes. However, Bayern Munich has shown reluctance to part ways with the winger, who is under contract until 2029. Bayern president Herbert Hainer has publicly dismissed speculation, stating that Florentino Pรฉrez should not bother making an offer.
Olise joined Bayern from Crystal Palace and has quickly become a key player in their attack. His potential move to the Santiago Bernabรฉu could create uncertainty for current Real Madrid stars. Reports suggest that Jude Bellingham's strained relationship with Kylian Mbappรฉ and Vinicius Junior's unresolved contract situation might lead to their departures if Olise arrives.
Florentino Pรฉrez can save himself the trouble of making an offer for Olise; we do not want to sell.
