Olise's ultimatum forces Real Madrid to weigh Vinicius exit

On Friday, French midfielder Michael Olise announced his intent to leave Bayern Munich, a move that has compelled Real Madrid to contemplate the sale of Brazilian winger Vinicius Jr. as a prerequisite for the Frenchman's potential arrival in Spain this summer. The transfer has always been seen as complex because Olise is a key element of the Bavarians’ project. His importance to Bayern Munich has made any departure difficult. According to reports, the only viable exit route was for Olise to inform Bayern Munich directly of his decision to leave. This direct approach underscores his determination to leave. Olise has already communicated his plans to teammates, stating he will fight until the end to secure his move. His resolve has surprised many given his significance to the Munich side.

L’Equipe Real Madrid intend to submit an offer for Olise once the ongoing FIFA World Cup concludes. The Frenchman is described as obsessed with joining the Spanish club. Real Madrid have not ruled out selling their star winger Vinicius Jr. this summer, with negotiations currently at a standstill. The Brazilian talisman’s departure would clear the path for Olise’s arrival and facilitate the transfer. Both Vinicius and Real Madrid wish to continue together, but financial differences have stalled contract talks. The wage gap between the club’s latest proposal and the player’s demands ranges from €6 million to €10 million. President Florentino Perez faces a critical decision; if no agreement is reached in the coming weeks, the club is prepared to sell Vinicius to avoid losing him for free in a year’s time. This potential sale is linked directly to the feasibility of Olise’s move. Real Madrid also acknowledge Vinicius’s standout World Cup performances, adding weight to the decision. The club’s next steps will become clearer after the tournament ends.
