The partnership between Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé is set to continue until at least June 2029, but the French captain may already be looking to influence the club’s future recruitment. While competing in the 2026 World Cup, reports suggest that Mbappé is actively using his time in the national team camp to persuade Michael Olise to join him in the Spanish capital.
The buzz surrounding Michael Olise has intensified following a standout performance in the Round of 16, where France faced Sweden. During the match, the 24-year-old Bayern Munich winger provided a crucial assist to Bradley Barcola and another to Kylian Mbappé himself. Real Madrid is reportedly enamored with the attacker, who is currently tied to the German giants until 2029. However, securing his signature will be a challenge, as Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer has publicly stated that the club has no intention of letting Olise leave.
Spanish giants monitor Michael Olise closely
Despite the resistance from Munich, Florentino Pérez seems intent on testing the German club’s resolve during the upcoming transfer window. The speculation is unlikely to fade, especially as Olise continues to shine on the world stage. With an impressive tally of five assists in only four matches since the start of the 2026 World Cup, his performances have drawn constant praise. Within the France squad, Mbappé has been particularly complimentary of his teammate’s abilities since the tournament began.
Mbappé plays the role of intermediary for Real Madrid
Behind the scenes in the United States, Mbappé appears to have taken on an unofficial role as a recruiter. Information emerging from the tournament indicates that the star forward is working hard to convince Michael Olise to trade the Bayern Munich jersey for the white of Real Madrid. The outcome of this pursuit remains uncertain, but the pressure on the Bavarian leadership could increase if the player decides he wants to make the move to Spain to play alongside his national team captain.
