Real Madrid are increasingly doubtful about pursuing a deal for Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, according to reports in Spain. Mundo Deportivo claims that a transfer for the French international is now considered “virtually impossible” by those within the club.
This development contradicts earlier suggestions, including reports in German publication BILD, that indicated Real Madrid were actively considering a move for the 27-year-old. However, the Spanish newspaper asserts that internal discussions have shifted, with the club acknowledging the significant challenges in securing Olise’s signature.
Olise enjoyed a productive season with Bayern, establishing himself as a key player on the wing and contributing significantly to their Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal double. He scored 12 goals and provided 10 assists in all competitions, showcasing his ability to both create and finish chances. His performances have drawn attention from several top European clubs, including Real Madrid, who were reportedly seeking to bolster their attacking options.
Despite the current pessimism, Mundo Deportivo notes that Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez remains open to a move should circumstances change dramatically. Pérez is known for his ambition and willingness to pursue high-profile targets, but the report suggests that Bayern are determined to hold onto Olise. The winger is currently under contract with the German champions until 2029, with no release clause included in his deal.
Olise joined Bayern from Red Bull Leipzig in 2022 and has quickly become a fan favorite. While he has publicly expressed his commitment to the club, a change of heart could potentially trigger further negotiations. Mundo Deportivo suggests that should Olise formally request a transfer, Bayern would likely be forced into intensive talks with interested parties. For now, however, a move to the Santiago Bernabéu appears highly improbable, potentially forcing Real Madrid to explore alternative targets in the transfer window. This shift in strategy could see the Spanish giants focus on other wingers who are more readily available or offer a more financially viable option.
