Real Madrid have emerged as Michael Olise’s preferred destination should he leave Bayern Munich, though there is no expectation of an immediate transfer this summer, according to TEAMtalk. The France international has significantly enhanced his reputation over the past year, highlighted by a standout performance in the recent World Cup where he finished as the tournament’s leading assist provider with seven.
Olise followed up his international success with another impressive season for Bayern, registering 22 goals and 31 assists across all competitions. This followed a debut campaign in 2024 where he scored 20 goals and provided 23 assists after joining from Crystal Palace. His consistent form has attracted interest from several of Europe’s top clubs.
Bayern are aware of Olise’s ambitions to explore his options beyond his current contract, as was exclusively revealed by TEAMtalk in March. Sources have now confirmed that Olise’s preference remains a move to Spain when the time is right, ruling out a return to the Premier League for the time being. Representatives have informed clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, and Manchester United of his decision.
Paris Saint-Germain have also been considered as a potential destination, but La Liga remains Olise’s priority, with Real Madrid currently favoured over Barcelona. Real Madrid are aware of Olise’s preference and have maintained regular contact through intermediaries. However, the Spanish giants will only pursue a deal if Bayern become willing to sell and are not planning to pressure the player into forcing a transfer.
Bayern are equally relaxed about the situation and are preparing to offer Olise a significantly improved long-term contract, despite his current deal running until 2029. Neither Bayern nor Real Madrid anticipate Olise pushing for an exit this summer, with all parties expecting him to remain in Munich for the foreseeable future. A move to the Bernabeu is viewed as a long-term possibility rather than an immediate prospect.
