Kylian Mbappé spoke about one of the rumors that has recently surrounded Michael Olise and his possible future away from Bayern Munich. The Real Madrid forward avoided fueling the speculation linking his compatriot with Los Blancos and argued that the Frenchman should continue developing his career in Germany.
“I’ve heard the speculation. But I know very well from personal experience: when I was a PSG player, there were countless rumors,” Mbappé explained.
The Real Madrid attacker believes it would not be right to advise Olise to leave Bayern, especially considering the stage the player is at and the project ahead of him in Germany.
Mbappé was emphatic when referring to the possibility of Olise eventually changing clubs.
“I think it would be disrespectful to advise a player to leave. That would be unfair to Bayern.”
The Frenchman also highlighted Bayern Munich’s importance as an institution and the opportunities it offers for Olise to keep growing as a footballer.
“Especially because Bayern is a great club where Michael can achieve a lot.”
Although he avoided commenting on a possible transfer, Mbappé did not hold back in his praise for his compatriot.
“Of course, every club in the world would want to have Michael Olise. He is an exceptional player.”
The Real Madrid forward’s comments come amid speculation over the future of the Bayern attacker, but Mbappé preferred to stay away from any recommendation that could be interpreted as an invitation to leave the German club.
His stance is also shaped by his own experience: during his time at PSG, the Frenchman lived for years with constant rumors about a possible change of clubs before finally completing his move to Real Madrid.
