The news of Michael Olise‘s potential move emerged within the privacy of the French national team‘s dressing room. While Real Madrid is eager to secure his services, the Spanish giants are mindful of maintaining strong ties with Bayern Munich. Nevertheless, the French winger appears determined to seek a new challenge this summer. The Bavarian club now faces a critical decision regarding his future, with transfer rumors suggesting a staggering €223 million price tag.
Real Madrid maintains strong interest in Olise
If completed, this transfer would make Michael Olise the most expensive player in football history, surpassing the €222 million spent by PSG to sign Neymar in 2017. Florentino Pérez remains fully committed to the deal, envisioning Olise as a key partner for Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid. The ball is now in Bayern Munich‘s court, though German officials have so far shown reluctance to part ways with their star player this summer. The coming weeks will be decisive.
