Vinicius replacement? Bayern star linked with Real | OneFootball

At Real Madrid, a dramatic development is brewing off the pitch. Vinicius Jr. is causing trouble—and this could have unforeseen consequences for FC Bayern.

In the recent clash against FC Barcelona, Vinicius Jr. drew attention with his behavior. The Brazilian caused confusion among officials and fans with his reaction to being substituted: he refused to shake hands with coach Xabi Alonso and then angrily shouted in the locker room area, “Always me! I’m leaving the team!” President Florentino Pérez was visibly displeased in the stands over the emotional exit—the future of Vinicius in Madrid is now in doubt.

This heated scene could have far-reaching consequences: Michael Olise from FC Bayern is reportedly being considered in Madrid as a possible successor. According to e-noticies, Pérez is increasingly doubting the reliability of his wing star and is exploring options in case of a departure. The French international Olise, who joined Munich in the summer of 2024, has since impressed with consistently strong performances.

In 69 competitive matches, the 23-year-old has scored 27 goals and provided 30 assists. According to the portal, he impresses the Madrid club with his discipline, joy of playing, and adaptability—qualities currently lacking at Real. Coach Xabi Alonso is also said to be a fan of Olise’s style of play.

Despite his contract running until 2029, international interest is high. However, FC Bayern remains relaxed about the situation. Sporting director Christoph Freund has already emphasized: “He still has over three and a half years left on his contract, is becoming an increasingly decisive factor in FC Bayern’s game, and will shape the future of this team—as far as we’re concerned: the longer, the better.”

It is well known that Olise admires Real Madrid. Whether this will lead to a concrete desire to transfer remains to be seen. What is clear: the record champions currently hold all the cards in this game.
