Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise has reportedly told his French teammates he wants to join Real Madrid next season.
The 24-year-old expressed his desire during the FIFA Club World Cup, with Real Madrid aware of his interest and expected to open discussions after the tournament.
Bayern, however, are reportedly unwilling to entertain offers for the France international.
Olise, who is under contract with the Bundeslisga champions until 2029, is said to view a move to the Santiago Bernabeu as the next step in his career.
France and Bayern Munich defender Dayot Upamecano have reportedly urged Olise to remain in Munich, while president Herbert Hainer recently dismissed speculating linking the winger with the Spanish club.
“Florentino Perez can save himself the trouble of making an offer for Olise, we do not want to sell”, Hainer was quoted saying.
Olise joined Bayern from Crystal Palace and quickly established himself as one of the club’s key attacking players.
The report also suggested that Olise’s potential arrival at Real Madrid could have implications for the club’s current squad, with speculation surrounding the futures of Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior.
Olise is reportedly attracted by the idea of playing alongside Mbappe at Real Madrid, but any future deal depend on Bayern’s willingness to negotiate and players contract situation.
