Real Madrid keep Olise on radar as Bayern plot extension

Michael Olise's contract runs until 2029, granting Bayern Munich considerable control over his future. Nevertheless, Real Madrid continue to monitor the 24‑year‑old French winger, a pursuit that has survived the arrival of Yan Diomande and keeps the Spaniards in the transfer conversation.

Real Madrid's sustained pursuit

Real Madrid's interest in Michael Olise remains a prominent storyline despite Bayern Munich's determination to protect their investment in the French winger. The German champions view the player as a valuable asset and are unwilling to negotiate a sale without a renewal.

L’Equipe continues to link the 24‑year‑old with a move to the Santiago Bernabeu, keeping the Spanish giants in the speculation. At the same time, Bayern Munich are working on a contract extension to secure Olise's long‑term future at the club.

Los Blancos still admire the French forward and their interest has not faded despite the disappointment of last summer. The Spanish side previously explored signing him but were hesitant to meet Bayern's asking price while the German club refused to negotiate. Olise has expressed a desire to join Real Madrid, even as Bayern remain determined to retain him.

The winger was already on Real Madrid's radar before the 2026 summer transfer window. Kylian Mbappe and Ibrahima Konate have discussed the possibility of a move with their international teammate during France gatherings, giving the potential transfer a boost. Nevertheless, the club's recent acquisition of Yan Diomande does not eliminate their longer‑term interest in Olise.

Bayern Munich's contract strategy

Bayern Munich have opened discussions over an improved contract to reward Olise's importance to Vincent Kompany's attacking project. Initial talks have already taken place, although no agreement has been reached. Club officials have said they want clarity on the winger's intentions by next summer.

Bayern are under no immediate pressure to sell, as they are comfortable with Olise's current situation. Summer 2027 could become a decisive moment if a renewal is not agreed, potentially opening the door to a sale. The outcome of the contract discussions could determine whether Real Madrid revisit their interest next summer.

Should Olise extend his stay, Bayern would strengthen their position and make negotiations considerably more difficult for any suitor. Conversely, a failure to reach an agreement could create an opportunity for Real Madrid to explore a transfer, though Bayern would not be obliged to accept an offer.
