As the French international targets a switch to La Liga, the Bavarian giants are pulling out all the stops to persuade their prized asset to remain in Germany.
The future of Michael Olise is once again a major talking point in the transfer market. According to reports from L’Equipe, the Bayern Munchen forward has identified Real Madrid as his absolute priority, viewing the La Liga as the natural next step for his career development.
The French publication suggests the newly-capped international took advantage of his recent time with the France national team to sound out his teammates regarding life at the “Maison Blanche.” Olise reportedly consulted players such as Kylian Mbappe, keen to gain a deeper understanding of the standards and daily expectations at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Faced with the player’s desire to depart, Bayern Munchen are working tirelessly behind the scenes to retain one of their brightest prospects. Defender Dayot Upamecano is reportedly acting as a mediator in the situation, attempting to convince his compatriot to commit his long-term future to Bavaria by highlighting the winning culture and relentless ambition of the German giants.
While no formal agreement has yet been reached between Real Madrid and Michael Olise, the situation is already developing into one of the most high-profile sagas of the window. The Munich hierarchy, meanwhile, remains steadfast in its determination to keep hold of one of the most promising talents in the squad.
