Michael Olise remains one of the hottest transfer topics in Europe. According to a report from Spain, Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid are now locked in a direct battle for the Bayern star.
Michael Olise’s future continues to make headlines. Although FC Bayern internally considers the French national team player to be unsellable, speculation about a possible mega-transfer shows no signs of abating.
As reported by the Spanish sports newspaper AS, two European heavyweights have now entered the fray. According to the report, both Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain are vying to sign the 24-year-old.
Currently, PSG is said to even have the upper hand in the race for the attacking player. According to the report, the French club is currently ahead of Real Madrid, which has also been closely monitoring Olise for months.
Of particular interest: Given the good relations between Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain, the losing club could withdraw from the bidding war and leave negotiations with FC Bayern to the other club.
PSG and Real are dreaming of Olise
Over the past twelve months, Olise has emerged as one of the most sought-after attacking players in the world. Following his strong debut season with FC Bayern, the Frenchman is currently impressing at the World Cup as well.
His performances for France have once again piqued the interest of Europe’s elite clubs. Real Madrid, in particular, has long viewed him as a potential new Galáctico.
But now Paris Saint-Germain also appears to be applying massive pressure. According to AS, the French serial champions are currently even in a better position than the Spaniards.
Nevertheless, the situation remains complicated. Bayern Munich has made it clear on multiple occasions that Olise is expected to play a key role at the club in the long term.
World-record transfer fee for Bayern?
Should concrete negotiations ever take place, however, interested clubs would apparently have to dig deep into their pockets.
According to AS, Bayern Munich would demand a transfer fee that exceeds even the previous world record set by Neymar. As is well known, Paris Saint-Germain paid 222 million euros to FC Barcelona in 2017.
A potential Olise transfer would thus set new standards on the international transfer market.
In Munich, however, there are currently still no plans to sell him. Instead, according to recent reports, club officials are working on an early contract extension with the Frenchman. His contract , which runs through 2029 , could be extended long-term and significantly improved financially.
Olise himself is currently focused on the World Cup with France. Nevertheless, the rumors surrounding PSG and Real Madrid are likely to gain further momentum—especially since the Bayern star continues to increase his market value with every strong performance.
