Real Madrid continues to hold a strong interest in Bayern Munich‘s attacking midfielder Michael Olise, despite the German champions previously rejecting a substantial offer for the player. Reports indicate that even a bid exceeding €500 million was deemed insufficient by Bayern last summer to part ways with the talented Frenchman.
Olise, 24, is currently enjoying another impactful season with the Bundesliga outfit. His existing contract with Bayern Munich is set to run until 2029, providing the club with significant leverage. However, Bayern is reportedly preparing to intensify efforts in the coming days to secure a further extension to his current deal, aiming to cement his long-term future in Bavaria.
Madrid’s Persistent Pursuit
Despite Bayern’s firm stance and Olise’s lengthy contract, Real Madrid’s interest has not diminished. The Spanish giants view Olise as a key target, and the player’s connection to the club is reportedly reinforced during international duty. French national teammates, including prominent figures like Kylian Mbappé, Ibrahima Konaté, and Eduardo Camavinga, are understood to remind Olise about the appeal of playing at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Future Availability and Valuation
The situation could evolve significantly depending on the outcome of Bayern’s contract extension talks. Should Bayern Munich fail in their attempts to extend Olise’s contract beyond its current 2029 expiry, it is understood that the playmaker might become available for a considerably lower fee than the reported €500 million next summer. This potential scenario could open the door for Real Madrid to make a more successful approach for the highly-rated midfielder.
