Michael Olise is currently shining on the world stage during his first World Cup appearance with the French national team. At 24 years old, the Bayern Munich winger has become the center of attention, not just for his international displays but also for his future at the club level. While he is committed to the German giants until June 2029, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez is reportedly preparing a monumental bid to bring the attacker to the Santiago Bernabéu.
The World Cup has reached its tenth day, with 48 nations battling for glory. France is looking to maintain the momentum gained from their 3-1 victory over Sénégal at MetLife Stadium. As they prepare to face Iraq at the Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, Didier Deschamps is expected to once again name Michael Olise in his starting lineup, rewarding the youngster’s impressive form.
A historic valuation for the French star
Michael Olise’s stock has soared following a brilliant run of form, including a hat-trick against Northern Ireland in a pre-tournament friendly and a crucial assist for Kylian Mbappé in the opening group match against the Lions of Teranga. This impact has intensified interest from Real Madrid. Despite Bayern Munich’s firm public stance against selling their prized asset, the Spanish champions are rumored to be considering an operation worth at least 222 million euros. This staggering figure would match the world-record fee paid for Neymar in 2017.
Florentino Pérez targets Michael Olise as the next Galactico
The pursuit of Michael Olise appears to be a personal priority for Florentino Pérez, who views the winger as the next “Galactico” to lead the Madrid project. While high-profile signings often take time to materialize—much like the lengthy pursuit of Kylian Mbappé—the intent from the Spanish capital is clear. As the summer transfer window approaches its September 1 deadline, all eyes will be on whether this interest translates into a concrete move for the French international.
