‘There’s no right or wrong choice’: National team manager opens up on Real Madrid target’s future | OneFootball

In recent days, Michael Olise of Bayern Munich has emerged as the top transfer target for Real Madrid heading into the summer.

After Florentino Perez made a bombshell announcement of him being ready to launch an €150 million offer for an unnamed player, it set the rumour mill abuzz.

Since then, multiple reliable sources have confirmed that the player that the Real Madrid president was talking about was Olise.

Olise is currently with the France national team where he will be playing with two Real Madrid stars, Kylian Mbappe and Aurelien Tchouameni, at the 2026 FIFA World Cup.

And, naturally, given all the speculations doing the rounds, France head coach Didier Deschamps was asked about the winger’s future heading into the summer.

In response, the 2018 FIFA World Cup-winning manager said (h/t iMiaSanMia): “He’ll know very well whether he wants to stay at Bayern Munich or if he needs a change of scenery. There’s no right or wrong choice.

“Obviously, if I were in Kompany’s or the Bayern president’s shoes, having him in the team and him staying at Bayern would be very, very good. I imagine he might also receive offers from other clubs.

“I’m not worried about him replicating what he does with Bayern or what he does with the French national team at other clubs. But if I say that, it doesn’t benefit Bayern”

Will Olise join Real Madrid?

Reports in Spain indicate that Olise is aware of the interest from Real Madrid and would be open to making the switch to the Santiago Bernabeu.

However, the former Crystal Palace does not intend to force a departure from Bayern Munich, whom he respects very much.

As for the Bavarians, their stance on the matter has been clear for a while now – they do not intend to sell Olise irrespective of the offer that is put in front of them.

So, it does complicate Perez and Real Madrid’s chances of signing the French international in the summer transfer window.
