World Cup
Real Madrid set to offer €200m for Bayern star Michael Olise
Real Madrid have signalled a willingness to meet a €200 million price tag for Bayern Munich forward Michael Olise, after Kylian Mbappé lauded the Frenchman’s play following France’s 3‑1 victory over Senegal in the World Cup opener. The French striker highlighted Olise’s composure and vision, describing him as a player who makes it easy to find solutions on the pitch.
Real Madrid have already confirmed the arrivals of Bernardo Silva and Marc Cucurella, adding to a busy summer transfer window. Those signings illustrate the club’s intent to strengthen the squad ahead of the new season.
Mbappé said, “With Michael it’s super easy, because he is a player who always keeps his head up. With him you only have to think about offering him a solution, a passing line, and he sees it. I knew it and it was super cool.” The quote was given after the France‑Senegal match, where Olise provided the assist for one of Mbappé’s goals.
In the same match, Olise impressed by drifting across the pitch and linking play, even though he started nominally on the right wing. His movement helped France dominate possession and create scoring opportunities.

Club president Florentino Perez has spoken of his intention to land a Galactico signing, and Olise’s profile fits that description. Real Madrid view the Frenchman as a marquee addition to their attacking options. Bayern Munich have publicly stated that Michael Olise is not for sale, signalling resistance to any approach. The German club is expected to push back against a €200 million offer from Real Madrid.Real Madrid snatches Marc Cucurella from Atletico Madrid after near deal
History shows rejecting Real Madrid can be difficult, as evidenced by Marc Cucurella’s transfer to the Spanish giants earlier this window. All eyes are on Olise this World Cup as the transfer saga unfolds in the coming weeks. The ongoing negotiations underline the high stakes of the summer market, with Real Madrid prepared to set a club record fee to secure the player. Observers will watch how Bayern respond as the deadline approaches.
