Real Madrid plan to raise offer for Olise after 2026 World Cup, with Perez wary of Vinicius leaving | OneFootball

Real Madrid plan to raise their offer to buy Bayern Munich attacker Michael Olise after the 2026 World Cup, according to AS.

Los Blancos denied a move for Olise, but it appears they are still working behind the scenes to sign him.

Olise has assisted three out of Kylian Mbappe’s four goals at the World Cup, which will only serve to reinforce interest in securing his services.

Madrid president Florentino Perez is wary of losing Vinicius Junior, who is entering the final year of his contract with the club.

Perez is also keeping tabs on Manchester City’s Erling Braut Haaland and Atletico Madrid’s Julian Alvarez. The club president does not want to cave into Vinicius’ salary demands.  

Olise caught the eye after an outstanding campaign in Germany, in which he recorded 22 goals and 31 assists in 57 appearances.

Bayern have said that even a bid of over €200 million will not be enough after Jose Mourinho reportedly went to scout him, but Madrid are not prepared to back down.

The 15-time European champions are hoping that Olise can help make things easier by pushing for an exit.

Madrid will also be wary of interest from Paris Saint-Germain. He is their number-one target and may fancy playing in France.

However, it is hard to envisage a scenario where Bayern allow Olise to leave this summer.

He is a key player with a contract that runs until 2029, and they will frustrate any suitor who steps forward to sign him.

It promises to be one of the most fascinating transfer battles of the summer transfer window.

Elsewhere, Madrid are reportedly about to make their move for Chelsea midfielder Enzo Fernandez after abandoning their pursuit of Mateus Fernandes.
