Another top club keen: Real Madrid join the race for Olise | OneFootball

With his outstanding performances, Michael Olise is currently causing excitement not only at FC Bayern. The 23-year-old Frenchman has developed into an absolute key player since his move from Crystal Palace to Munich in the summer of 2024—and has thus attracted the interest of numerous top clubs.

According to transfer insider Alex Nixon, Real Madrid has even made Olise “one of their main targets for next summer.” In addition to the Spanish giants, Premier League powerhouses such as Liverpool and Manchester City are also considered serious contenders. The list of clubs monitoring the Bayern star is getting longer and longer.

Olise is regarded as one of the most exciting wingers in world football. This is also reflected in the Ballon d’Or 2025 rankings, where he achieved an impressive 30th place. At the latest since his stellar 2024/25 season, in which he scored 24 goals and provided 26 assists, he has become an indispensable member of the international elite. He has seamlessly continued this form into the current season: in seven matches, he has already collected seven scorer points.

His market value is now around 100 million euros—and rising. This means Olise is already among the most valuable players in the world. Given the growing interest from abroad, Bayern’s executives want to respond. According to information from BILD, those at Säbener Straße are considering an early contract extension.

Currently, Olise is under contract with the German record champions until 2029. Concrete talks with the player’s side have not yet taken place, but it is considered likely that the club’s management will seek contact during the course of the season.

Olise as a key player for the future

However, one hurdle could be the salary structure. Although Olise has already joined the ranks of the absolute top performers, he currently earns less than stars like Joshua Kimmich or Alphonso Davies. A significant adjustment to his salary would be appropriate, but could run counter to Bayern management’s stated goal of streamlining the wage structure.

One thing is clear: Michael Olise has made himself indispensable in a very short time. His speed, technique, and finishing ability make him one of the most dangerous wingers in the Bundesliga. FC Bayern is well aware of the importance of this shooting star—and will surely do everything possible to keep him at the club for the long term.
