Paris Saint-Germain have joined Real Madrid in closely monitoring Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, according to a report in Kicker. The interest from the Champions League holders comes after a strong 2025/26 season for Olise and his subsequent performances for France at the recent World Cup, which have fuelled speculation regarding his future.
Real Madrid have already publicly stated their intention to engage with Bayern Munich officials before initiating any direct negotiations with Olise, demonstrating a respectful approach to the current contractual situation. The Spanish club have been widely reported as frontrunners for the Frenchman’s signature, and sources in France suggest Olise himself favours a move to the Santiago Bernabéu.
Olise joined Bayern Munich in 2024 from Crystal Palace, quickly establishing himself as a key player for the Bavarian side. He contributed significantly to their Bundesliga title win last season, providing both goals and assists from the right wing. His form for France has further enhanced his reputation as one of Europe’s most exciting young attackers, playing alongside PSG players Ousmane Dembélé, Désiré Doué and Bradley Barcola.
Despite the growing interest from top European clubs, Bayern Munich are currently maintaining a firm stance on Olise’s future. The club have repeatedly stated that the 24-year-old is not for sale, and with his contract extending until 2029, they hold a strong negotiating position. A transfer this summer appears unlikely, though the situation could evolve depending on any potential offers and Olise’s own desires. This strong contract position allows Bayern to dictate any potential sale, likely demanding a substantial fee for one of their key assets.
Olise’s continued development at Bayern, or a potential move to a European giant, will be closely watched as he continues to establish himself as a prominent figure in international football.
