This Friday, Michael Olise made his comeback to Munich, where he underwent medical examinations before resuming training. For a moment, we thought that the 24-year-old French international might not find the residents of the Allianz Arena. After a successful club season with 22 goals and 31 assists in 52 appearances in all competitions, he shone at the 2026 World Cup. He finished as the tournament’s top assists player with 6 assists. Radiant, he often carried the Blues with Kylian Mbappé, before being much more muzzled and therefore less efficient in the last meetings, notably against La Roja.
Bayern Munich regained confidence
All this attracted the attention of Real Madrid. Florentino Pérez fell under the spell of the former Crystal Palace player, who was also flirted with by KM10 who sold him the Merengue club. As explained by us, Olise was sensitive to all this and privately confided that he wanted to join Casa Blanca. Except that won’t be the case. At least, not this summer. Bayern Munich closed the door on their player and assured that he would stay in Bavaria this season, regardless of the offers. In private, Bild however, clarified that a proposal of more than €220 million would make the Germans relent. She never arrived.
Real Madrid, like PSG which was cited as a candidate for his signature, handed over to the great happiness of Vincent Kompany and his club. A club which has never trembled as Uli Hoeneß admitted. “I laughed out loud. He still has three years left on his contract, so for me, it’s absolutely not a subject. The Emperor of China could come to see us and we wouldn’t even speak to him (about Olise, editor’s note). It’s the same for Luis Díaz. We have the best attacking trio in the world with Olise, Díaz and Kane. We wouldn’t even think of selling one.”
The Germans use the Merengues
Kompany was less teasing, but he was just as blunt. “The subject was never open to me.” End of debate. Now, the Bavarians are looking into extending the Frenchman’s contract, whose lease ends in June 2029. In recent months, the leaders have tried to approach the Olise clan. But they were disconcerted by his very particular way of handling this matter. The player is very cold and discreet about his intentions. Which made Bayern Munich panic. But this Friday, Bild indicates that confidence is returning to Bavaria. The German publication indicates that the Rekordmeister is in a strong position in the negotiations.
Real Madrid recruited Yan Diomandé, while extending Vinicius Jr. Complete offensively, particularly on the wings, the Madrid club is no longer considered a danger by the Munich residents, even if Olise can also play in 10. The Munich residents also intend to rely on the fact that Madrid is provided offensively to convince the Frenchman that the club of which he dreams has already invested in other elements and that it is preferable for him to stay in Bavaria where a new contract waiting for him. The Germans want to continue to make him a captain of the team and not just one star among many others. They also want to increase his salary, which could reach €20 million per year. To do this, he will have to sign a new long-term lease. The ball is in Olise’s court. It remains to be seen what he will do with it.
