After two years at Bayern, Michael Olise is reportedly seeking a new challenge, with a move to José Mourinho's Real Madrid targeted for this summer. This claim comes from Footmercato, surfacing the day after France's elimination from the 2026 World Cup semi-finals by Spain (0-2).

Michael Olise, whose contract runs until June 2029, has a clear desire: to head to the Spanish capital. The player believes the Madrid club offers the ideal environment to continue his development and take the next step in his career. The Merengues' management is aware of this ambition and aims to make Olise a record-breaking signing.

Despite the interest, a potential transfer won't be straightforward. Bayern is expected to demand around 200 million euros to release the player. While the Bavarian club publicly maintains an unyielding stance on their winger's departure, behind the scenes, the situation is different, according to the same source: the German board has reportedly already contacted potential successors, with PSG's Bradley Barcola being a prominent name.

Crucial discussions between Michael Olise and Bayern's management are scheduled for after the World Cup (France still has the 3rd/4th place playoff) and will be pivotal in determining the player's future. The 24-year-old winger has had an exceptional season for the Bavarians, scoring 22 goals and providing 31 assists in 52 games, currently leading the 2026 World Cup in assists.
