Michael Olise is currently making waves during his debut World Cup appearance with the France national team. The 24-year-old winger has become a sensation, drawing significant interest through his performances for both the Bleus and his current club, Bayern Munich. Although he is committed to the German giants until June 2029, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez appears undeterred and is reportedly ready to orchestrate a landmark deal to bring the attacker to Spain.
The World Cup has been in full swing for ten days, providing a global stage for the 48 competing nations. France aims to build on the momentum of their recent 3-1 triumph over Sénégal at the MetLife Stadium. Their next challenge takes place this Monday evening at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, where they face Iraq. Current tactical trends suggest that Didier Deschamps will once again trust Michael Olise with a spot in the starting eleven.
Real Madrid prepared to meet staggering valuation for Olise
After delivering a clinical hat-trick in a warm-up match against Northern Ireland, Michael Olise continued his fine form by providing a crucial assist for Kylian Mbappé during the victory over the Lions of Teranga. This stellar output has intensified rumors linking him to Real Madrid. While Bayern Munich has maintained a firm stance against selling their star asset, the Madrid hierarchy views the 24-year-old as a priority. To secure his signature, the Merengues understand they must trigger an astronomical fee of at least 222 million euros—a sum that mirrors the world-record transfer of Neymar in 2017.
A new Galactico for Florentino Pérez
The ambition in Madrid is clear: Florentino Pérez has identified Olise as the next “Galactico” to lead the club’s future. While major acquisitions can often become protracted sagas—much like the pursuit of Kylian Mbappé in previous years—the objective remains unchanged. Pérez is known for his persistence when targeting elite talent, and Olise is now at the top of that list. As the summer transfer window approaches its September 1st deadline, the football world is watching closely to see if this historic move will materialize.
