Michael Olise continues to make waves in the transfer market. The French international has reportedly become Real Madrid’s top priority for the upcoming summer transfer window, provided Florentino Pérez is re-elected as president of the Madrid club.
For several days now, rumors have been swirling about the high-profile signing that the Spanish leader wants to deliver to the fans. Names like Vitinha, João Neves, and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia have been mentioned. However, according to various media outlets, it is indeed Michael Olise who has captured the attention of the Madrid president.
Shining in Bayern Munich colors this season, the former Crystal Palace player particularly impressed Florentino Pérez during the two-legged clash between the clubs in the Champions League. His performances convinced the Madrid boss to make him a priority target.
But one key question remains: would Olise be ready to leave Bavaria after just one season? Arriving last summer at Bayern, the 24-year-old quickly established himself as one of the key players in Vincent Kompany’s squad. Thriving in Germany, he doesn’t seem to have an immediate sporting reason to leave.
According to journalist Ramon Alvarez de Mon, the striker is not indifferent to Real Madrid’s interest. Aware of the attention from the Merengue, he would welcome a move to the Spanish capital if both clubs can reach an agreement. However, he has no intention of pressuring Bayern, a club he remains very attached to.
Nonetheless, the situation looks complicated. Bayern Munich’s stance is clear: Michael Olise is not for sale. A few weeks ago, Uli Hoeness even stated that a €200 million offer would not be enough to convince the Bavarian leaders to part with their gem. Now it remains to be seen how far Real Madrid is willing to go to pull off this blockbuster transfer.
