The bond between Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé is set to continue until at least June 2029, marking a long-term commitment between the French superstar and the Spanish giants. While the partnership appears rock solid, the forward is reportedly looking to expand the club’s French contingent. During the ongoing 2026 World Cup, Mbappé has taken on an unofficial role, actively trying to persuade Michael Olise to make the move to the Santiago Bernabéu.
The buzz surrounding the Bayern Munich winger has reached a fever pitch following France’s victory over Sweden in the Round of 16. In that match, Michael Olise showcased his elite vision by providing assists for both Bradley Barcola and Kylian Mbappé. This performance has intensified the desire in Madrid to secure the 24-year-old’s signature, even though he is tied to the German club until 2029. However, any potential deal faces a significant hurdle, as Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer has already stated that the player is not for sale.
Madrid’s growing obsession with Michael Olise
Despite the firm stance from Germany, Florentino Pérez remains keen on testing Bayern Munich’s resolve. The summer transfer window promises to be dominated by this narrative, especially as the winger continues to dazzle on the world stage. With five assists in just four matches for France, his stock has never been higher. Mbappé himself has been vocal in his praise for his teammate since the start of the tournament, further fueling speculation about a future partnership at the club level.
Mbappé plays the role of recruiter for the Merengues
Beyond public compliments, it appears that Kylian Mbappé is working hard behind the scenes. Reports from the tournament base in the United States suggest that the Madrid number 9 is putting significant pressure on Michael Olise to choose Real Madrid. This internal lobbying could be the key to unlocking a deal that currently seems blocked by the Bavarian hierarchy. If the player expresses a clear desire to join his national teammate in Spain, the situation for Bayern Munich could become increasingly difficult to manage.
