Rising star Michael Olise, at just 24 years old, is making waves on the international stage with the French national team. His electrifying performances, both for Les Bleus and his club, Bayern Munich – where he is under contract until June 2029 – have captured significant attention. However, this long-term commitment doesn’t seem to deter Real Madrid’s president, Florentino Pérez. According to sports journalist Roberto Gomez, Pérez is reportedly orchestrating a monumental transfer operation for the talented forward.
The World Cup tournament is now in full swing, with ten days of intense competition behind us. Participating nations have either completed their opening fixtures or, for some, their second group stage matches. The French team aims to extend their winning streak, which began with a dominant 3-1 victory over Senegal last Tuesday at MetLife Stadium. This Monday evening, at Philadelphia’s Lincoln Financial Field, France will face Iraq. Current indications suggest that Michael Olise will once again feature in Didier Deschamps’ starting eleven, continuing his pivotal role for the Bleus.
“real madrid knows that if they want olise, they will have to pay at least 222 million euros”
Olise’s recent form has been nothing short of spectacular. He provided a crucial assist for Kylian Mbappé against the Lions of Teranga and, just days prior, netted an impressive hat-trick in a 3-1 pre-World Cup 2026 friendly against Northern Ireland on the American continent. Unsurprisingly, Real Madrid has been closely monitoring him for some time, with his name even surfacing during the presidential elections that saw Florentino Pérez re-elected. Despite Bayern Munich’s firm public and private stance against selling Olise, the 24-year-old French winger remains a prime target for the Madrid board. Roberto Gomez, a well-known journalist, predicts an unprecedented transfer deal: “The only thing I’ve stated, and I reiterate it here, is that the player Real Madrid desires is Olise, and Real Madrid understands that acquiring Olise will necessitate a payment of at least 222 million euros.” This staggering figure echoes the historic transfer fee paid for Neymar when he moved from Barcelona to PSG in 2017.
“i don’t know how long it will take, because in some cases, like kylian’s, it took a while”
“The flagship player, the star, the ‘galáctico’ – whatever you want to call him – that Florentino Pérez is determined to sign is Olise. Florentino never makes a mistake. I don’t know how long this process will take, because in certain situations, like with Kylian, it required a significant amount of time… But yes, Florentino Pérez’s ultimate objective is Olise,” the journalist concluded during his remarks on Radio Marca. The unfolding saga of Michael Olise’s future will undoubtedly be a key storyline in the coming weeks. The summer transfer window is set to close its doors on September 1st.
