Olise Real Madrid ambition grows as Mbappé advice meets Bayern push

London-born French winger Michael Olise, 24, has openly declared his intention to leave Bayern Munich this summer and join Real Madrid, L’Equipe reports, after seeking counsel from France teammates Kylian Mbappé and Aurélien Tchouaméni during the World Cup camp and dismissing a Premier League return. Olise confirmed that his decision to depart Germany's Bundesliga was taken months ago, aligning with his long‑term ambitions. The French international said the move to the Spanish capital fits his career plan. His London birth and French upbringing have shaped his preferences, and he explicitly stated that a return to the Premier League does not interest him. Olise believes the Spanish league offers the environment he seeks.

During France’s World Cup training camp, Olise approached Kylian Mbappé and Aurélien Tchouaméni to gather intelligence on Real Madrid. Both teammates are France internationals currently playing for the Spanish club. L’Equipe added that Mbappé’s strong relationship with Olise could further nudge Real Madrid into pursuing what could be a record‑breaking transfer. The rapport between the two may accelerate negotiations.

Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano, however, lobbied the winger to reconsider and remain with Vincent Kompany’s squad. Upamecano argued that Bayern offers a competitive, title‑contending environment. Olise’s situation underscores broader market dynamics, where personal connections and club prestige influence high‑profile moves across Europe’s top leagues. Real Madrid’s interest, if confirmed, would add another marquee target to their summer agenda.
