Real Madrid's pursuit stalls as Bayern hold firm on Olise

Real Madrid have identified French winger Michael Olise as their top summer target, but the 24‑year‑old has not expressed a desire to leave Bayern Munich, and the German champions insist the player is not for sale despite mounting speculation linking him with the Santiago Bernabeu. The Bundesliga champions have repeatedly stated the winger is not for sale and have received no indication he wishes to leave, while Bayern Munich say they see no sign from Olise or his representatives that he wants to depart this summer. Real Madrid, while keeping Olise as a priority, are not expected to force negotiations now and appear prepared to wait for the winger to initiate any move.

Real Madrid turns to Haaland as Olise deal stalls this summer

Earlier reports suggested any Real Madrid deal would require a record‑breaking fee, potentially matching or exceeding the €221 million Paris Saint‑Germain paid for Neymar in 2017. To counter interest, Bayern are ready to offer Olise a new contract until 2031 that would double his salary to roughly €25 million per season. For now the focus remains on Olise’s decision, with the Spanish giants opting to monitor the situation rather than press Bayern into talks.
