Michael Olise set to remain at Bayern despite Real Madrid interest
French winger Michael Olise told teammates he wishes to join Real Madrid, according to reports from L’Équipe. Bayern Munich, however, has confirmed that the player is under contract until 2029 with no release clause and has rejected any immediate sale. The German club is prepared to offer a significant salary increase to keep him among its highest‑paid players.
Real Madrid have been linked to Olise with a potential fee of €200‑250 million, a sum that would rank among the most expensive transfers in football history. Both Bayern officials and Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez have indicated that Madrid are not pressing for a deal this summer and will wait for a clear signal from Bayern or the player before initiating negotiations.
