Michael Olise signals intention to join Real Madrid this summer as club readies €200m offer | OneFootball

Real Madrid could be about to make one of the biggest signings in football history, with Michael Olise set to become a realistic option this summer. The 24-year-old, who was knocked out of the 2026 World Cup with France less than 24 hours ago, has moved quickly to give a definitive response to links with a Bernabeu move, and it is good news for Florentino Perez and co.

According to Santi Aouna, Olise has made it known that he wants to join Real Madrid this summer. The winger believes now is the perfect time to make the move from Bayern Munich to Los Blancos, and this encouragement has prompted to ready their opening offer.

Real Madrid ready to break transfer record

Earlier in the summer, links between Olise and Real Madrid ramped up, although they were subsequently shut down by the club itself when they released a statement denying that any contact had been made with player or Bayern. But the situation looks set to change now that he’s signalled his intention to join Jose Mourinho’s squad, although it would have to be a record-breaking operation for the Bernabeu club.

The €115m spent on Eden Hazard in 2019 is currently Real Madrid’s record transfer, but they are ready to smash this to sign Olise. Bayern do not want to sell, although there is a feeling that a deal could be done if an offer in the region of €200m were to be received by those in Bavaria – this number was floated earlier in the summer, although it could be reduced now that Olise is seeking an exit.

Bayern have already started thinking about life after Olise, with the report from Aouna claiming that replacements are being identified by the club’s sporting department, which should give Real Madrid even more confidence in their bid to secure a spectacular signing.
