The Frenchman, who is very close to becoming the most expensive footballer of all time, wants to meet the Germans after the World Cup to talk about his future. At the Santiago Bernabéu, your breath is held.
Within the latest transfer news surrounding Real Madrid, Michael Olise reappears. He could be the most sensational transfer this summer if Los Blancos discover a real opportunity to sign him from Bayern Munich.

The French winger, who is one of the World Cup tournament’s big profiles, will meet the German club leaders after the championship to clarify his plans and find out the club’s final position.
Fabrizio Romano confirms that Bayern do not want to sell one of their best players. Nevertheless – an explicit request from the attacker and a bid of over 200 million euros could force an assessment of a scenario that currently seems distant. Florentino Pérez is following developments very closely.
Michael Olise – galactico signing Real Madrid follows
The interest from Real Madrid is both sporting and based on his performances. The 24-year-old operates primarily from the right wing, but can also play inside, accelerate transitions and create chances with his extraordinary left foot.
The World Cup effort has further increased his already high value. The Frenchman leads in several creative categories in the tournament, has established a particularly productive link with Kylian Mbappé, and has shown that he can be crucial in high-pressure matches.
The performances reinforce the idea of making him a star signing in LaLiga. In addition to goal-scoring ability, he offers dribbling, assists and a tremendous ability to break down defenses from the right side.
The latest reports suggest that Real Madrid will act if they sense even a minimal possibility of completing the operation. That does not mean that there are open negotiations going on – the club has officially rejected any contact with the player, his representatives or network.

The decisive meeting with Bayern Munich
The next move lies with Michael Olise himself. The discussion with Bayern management will determine whether he wants to continue as a key piece in the project – or whether he is willing to explore a change of club after his remarkable development.
The Frenchman has a contract until June 30, 2029, and there is no known buyout clause. Thus, it is the German champions who control the timing and have the ability to reject any approach that does not reach an extraordinary level.
A transfer of over 200 million euros
The amount that can start negotiations will exceed 200 million euros. Such a sum would make the transfer one of the most expensive in history – and require an extraordinary strategic decision from Florentino Pérez.
Bayern paid around €53 million to Crystal Palace in the summer of 2024. Since then, the winger has greatly improved his production and become one of the most valuable attackers in European football.
Last season, he scored 22 goals and provided 31 assists in 52 games. Figures that underline the strength of Bayern Munich. In Germany, it is believed that his sporting value exceeds the financial value – and they are working to keep him for many years to come.
A player designed to connect with Mbappé
At the Santiago Bernabéu, his interaction with Mbappé is particularly appreciated. The ability to receive the ball on the wing, draw opponents and play forward in space would add a new dimension to Real Madrid’s attack – as well as cover a position that has lacked a definitive specialist for several seasons.
Nevertheless, such an investment would require an assessment of resignations, salary budgets and priorities. The sports management must also evaluate whether it is prudent to spend so many resources on an attacker when other areas need reinforcements before LaLiga starts.
Bayern’s stance is still to keep him – and even improve the terms of his contract. Only a strong desire to leave can change the conversation and move both clubs from surveillance to institutional negotiation.
If Michael Olise communicates a willingness to accept offers, and Bayern agrees to consider an astronomical bid, Real Madrid will be ready to act. Until then, the Frenchman remains an expensive dream – but also Florentino Pérez’s greatest wish.
