The partnership between Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid is scheduled to last until at least June 2029, but the French captain may already be working to bring more star power to the squad. During the current 2026 World Cup, reports from the ground indicate that Mbappé is using his influence to persuade Michael Olise to join him in the Spanish capital.
The buzz surrounding the 24-year-old Bayern Munich winger has reached a new peak. Following France’s round of 16 victory over Sweden, where Olise delivered decisive passes to both Bradley Barcola and Mbappé, the pressure for Real Madrid to secure his signature has intensified. While Olise is under contract with the German giants until 2029, the interest from Spain is becoming hard to ignore. However, the task will not be simple, as Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer has already made a public stand, insisting that the player is not for sale.
Madrid’s growing fascination with Michael Olise
Despite the firm stance from Germany, Florentino Pérez seems prepared to challenge Bayern Munich’s resolve. The upcoming summer transfer window promises to be dominated by these rumors, especially given Olise’s exceptional form for the French national team. With five assists in just four World Cup matches, his stock is rising rapidly. Inside the French camp, Mbappé has not hidden his appreciation for Olise’s talent, frequently praising the winger since the tournament began.
Mbappé takes on the role of unofficial agent for Real Madrid
In the United States, where the World Cup is unfolding, Mbappé appears to be operating behind the scenes as a recruiter. Information coming out of the tournament suggests that the star forward is putting significant effort into convincing Michael Olise to trade his Bayern Munich jersey for the white of Real Madrid. The ultimate outcome of this pursuit remains to be seen, but if the desire to move to Madrid becomes mutual, the Bayern Munich management may face a difficult battle to keep their star winger.
