We revealed it to you on July 15, the day after the sad elimination of the French team from the World Cup: Michael Olise wants to join Real Madrid. Exclusive information since confirmed by numerous media, the latest being Sports Bildwhich provides new details. By evoking in particular the role played by Kylian Mbappé in recent weeks.

Accomplice with Olise, the captain of the France team never stopped praising the merits of Real Madrid to his teammate, guaranteeing him that Casa Blanca needed him. Then he informed his president Florentino Pérez that the Bayern Munich player wanted to join Madrid, so that he could take action. Problem is, a pact had recently been concluded between Pérez and his Bavarian counterpart, Herbert Hainer. Neither club would poach a player from the other without first informing the club concerned of their interest.

Bayern wants to reassure Olise

So far, Real Madrid have not contacted Bayern, nor Michael Olise and his agents, officially. We are therefore at the beginning of a possible transfer, far from being done since Bayern has not given up, on the contrary. The Munich club wishes to extend its player, who does not have a release clause, and increase his salary, currently estimated at €14 million, to nearly €25 million per season. While reassuring the player about Bayern’s sporting ambitions.

Olise needs to discuss with Bayern management, after this long month spent in the United States, to understand the club’s project. Upcoming discussions will determine whether or not the 24-year-old, under contract until 2029, will officially request a transfer to club management this summer. This is the next mandatory step for Florentino Pérez to agree to take action and launch a major financial proposal, as he promised during his re-election campaign.
