This Tuesday evening, France will face Sweden in the round of 16 of the 2026 World Cup. Expected to start again, Michael Olise (24 years old) will be eagerly awaited as always, having had a good tournament so far. A decisive passer on 3 occasions, the former Crystal Palace player delights his partners, in particular Kylian Mbappé with whom he has an excellent relationship. This gave ideas to Real Madrid, who would like to bring together the two French internationals in the Spanish capital. Even before the World Cup, the Merengues were following the track leading to Olise. Since then, we have heard almost everything on the subject.
If Real Madrid published a press release to deny any approach to the player, the Spanish press assures that the Madrilenians dream of recruiting him. In Germany, Bild rather speaks of an upcoming extension for the Frenchman, who would wait until the end of the World Cup to sign a new contract. At the same time, Kicker assures that Olise has a preference for Real Madrid in the event of his departure. Monday, A.S. has also clarified that the native of London does not wish to alienate the Bavarians in the event of his departure. He wants to do things in order and with respect, he who will decide after the World Cup.
Olise will stay in Munich
The door is therefore not completely closed on the side of the Frenchman and his entourage, who are destabilizing the Munich residents. The player is described as “very difficult to pin down and elusive” according to a club source Kicker. But that’s without counting on Bayern Munich, which does not intend to let itself be carried away in this matter. On several occasions, the leaders assured that they were counting on the Frenchman and that they would refuse even very substantial offers. However, German media considered serious have specified that discussions could begin from an amount greater than €220 million, the aim being to beat the record for the transfer of Neymar Jr to PSG.
This Tuesday, Herbert Hainer, the president of Bayern Munich, took stock of the subject and the Madrid track in the columns ofAbendzeitung. “As I said before, if Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez had an offer in mind, he can save himself a lot of hassle, because we don’t want to sell Michael. Bayern Munich have excellent relations with Real Madrid, and as a result, they have contacted me to tell me that, firstly, they have absolutely no contact with Michael Olise and, secondly, they do not want this incessant speculation in the media. » According to him, the player will stay whatever happens in Germany this season. Which seems to put an end to this soap opera unless Real Madrid and Olise offer us a new twist.
