Spicy report: Mbappe wants to lure Bayern star Olise to Madrid | OneFootball

Michael Olise has been with FC Bayern for barely a year, and already the French winger is in the international spotlight. According to Spanish media, superstar Kylian Mbappé is actively courting the 23-year-old and wants to bring him to Real Madrid. Liverpool also has the offensive player in their sights as a potential successor to Mohamed Salah.

According to information from the Spanish portal Defensa Central, Mbappé personally mentioned Olise's name to the chief scout of the Royals, Juni Calafat. During a training camp, the world champion reportedly approached Olise directly: "You have to come to Madrid." With this, the French superstar is pushing for a possible signing of his compatriot.

Olise's development is also making headlines in England. According to the Daily Mail, the Reds see the Bayern professional as a long-term option for the right offensive side. Background: Although Mohamed Salah extended his contract until 2027 in April, at 33 years old, the management is thinking about the future.

Olise, who moved from Crystal Palace to Munich in the summer of 2024 for around 55 million euros, would be an ideal candidate. Even during his Premier League time, he impressed with 16 goals and 25 assists in 90 appearances. At Bayern, he continued his performance in his debut season: 20 goals and 23 assists in 55 games – significantly contributing to the championship win.

In the current season, the offensive player is also proving to be a reliable scorer: Four goals in the first four matches underscore why he is considered one of the most exciting wingers in Europe.

Bayern not considering a sale

Despite interest from Madrid and Liverpool, it is clear: A sale of Olise is not up for discussion at Bayern. Coach Vincent Kompany firmly relies on the offensive player, who can be deployed both on the right wing and in the attacking midfield.

According to Defensa Central, Olise is not currently a transfer priority for Real Madrid. Coach Xabi Alonso trusts newcomer Franco Mastantuono and Brahim Diaz. Nevertheless, Olise is considered a player the Royals are keeping an eye on in the long term – not least because of Mbappé's endorsement.

What is clear is that with Michael Olise, FC Bayern has a player in its ranks who is already part of the European elite. Mbappé's advances and Liverpool's interest show how high his market value has become. For the Munich team, this is a compliment – and at the same time a challenge to keep their star at the club for the long term.
