Real Madrid's Galactico push as Bayern Michael Olise draws near

Real Madrid are poised to submit their opening bid for 24‑year‑old French winger Michael Olise, a Galactico target of Florentino Perez, according to L’Equipe (h/t Xtra). The Spanish giants are preparing an offer that could approach the €221 million benchmark, despite Bayern Munich’s claim the player is not for sale. Fresh reports say the pursuit has been building for weeks, linking the 24‑year‑old France international with a potential switch to the Santiago Bernabeu. Although Real Madrid have publicly distanced themselves from the speculation, reports suggest Olise favours a move to the Spanish capital. Olise has asked for a meeting with Bayern’s hierarchy to discuss his future and role, prompting the German club to handle the situation carefully. Bayern Munich are simultaneously drafting a new long‑term contract that would significantly raise his salary and standing in the team, hoping to convince him to extend his stay.

Any transfer for Olise will demand an extraordinary financial commitment, with Bayern reportedly only considering offers that approach record‑breaking territory. Figures close to the €221 million Paris Saint‑Germain paid for Neymar have been mentioned as a benchmark, though it is unlikely Real Madrid’s opening bid will reach that level. The club’s silence does not stop Real Madrid from preparing an opening offer behind the scenes. That offer will mark the start of a long negotiation process between the Spanish giants and Bayern Munich.
