Michael Olise is increasingly stepping into the spotlight at the 2026 World Cup. After his dream year with FC Bayern, the Frenchman is now making waves in the Équipe Tricolore jersey as well. This hasn’t gone unnoticed in Madrid either.
In France’s 3-1 opening victory over Senegal, Michael Olise once again demonstrated his exceptional talent. With two assists, the Bayern star was one of the key players on the field and was consequently named Man of the Match.
His performances at the World Cup thus confirm what he had already impressively demonstrated in his first season with FC Bayern: Olise is now among the absolute best in the world.
No wonder, then, that Real Madrid continues to show great interest in the attacking player.
Real Madrid dreams of its next Galáctico
As reported by the Spanish newspaper AS, Real Madrid continues to actively pursue the signing of the French international. According to the report, both President Florentino Pérez and new coach José Mourinho are strong advocates of a transfer.
Olise is apparently seen in Madrid as the perfect building block for the next Galáctico project. The reported figures are particularly noteworthy.
According to the report, Real would be willing to put at least 150 million euros on the table for the Bayern star. Internally, the club is reportedly even considering a potential offer exceeding the 200-million-euro mark.
This would put Real Madrid in territory that has rarely been reached since Neymar’s move from Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain in 2017. At that time, PSG paid the world-record transfer fee of 222 million euros, which still stands today.
Bayern remains uncompromising on Olise
Despite the spectacular sums involved, FC Bayern currently has no intention of selling him.
Internally, Olise has long been regarded as one of the club’s most important players and as the face of the future. Club officials have made it clear on multiple occasions in recent months that the Frenchman is considered non-transferable.
Even astronomical offers are said to make no difference.
The messages from Munich are clear: Olise is set to be the centerpiece of Bayern’s offense for the long term and, alongside players like Jamal Musiala, shape the club’s next era of success.
New contract planned after the World Cup
Instead of considering a sale, the record champions are already working on a contract extension.
According to recent reports, Bayern intends to begin talks with the player’s representatives in the near future. The goal is to extend the contract—which was originally set to run through 2029—ahead of schedule and tie Olise to the club for an even longer period.
In the process, the 24-year-old is also set to reach new heights financially.
Internally, there are discussions about placing Olise among the very top tier of the salary hierarchy in the future. According to media reports, the Frenchman could even become FC Bayern’s highest-paid player with a new contract.
Olise feels at home in Munich
Another important factor currently works in Bayern’s favor. Olise has settled in exceptionally well in Munich, both on and off the field. The attacking player enjoys the trust of Vincent Kompany, is an undisputed starter, and is one of the team’s most valuable players.
This is another reason why there are currently no signs that the Frenchman is considering a move.
Real Madrid may be dreaming of a spectacular transfer. But at Säbener Straße, the message is clear: Michael Olise is meant to shape the future of FC Bayern—not that of Real Madrid.
