Real Madrid apparently isn’t giving up on Michael Olise. Although Bayern Munich blocked all of Real Madrid’s attempts to sign him last summer, there’s now new movement in the transfer saga surrounding the French national team player. What’s particularly noteworthy: Efforts to sign the 24-year-old are reportedly now taking place within the French national team as well.

According to the French sports newspaper L’Équipe, Kylian Mbappé and Ibrahima Konaté are trying to convince their national teammate to make a move to Madrid. The report states that Olise has reportedly been approached about a possible transfer even during the Équipe Tricolore’s current training camp.

This is not welcome news for FC Bayern. After all, Olise is one of the key players on Vincent Kompany’s team. The Munich club wants to keep its star forward for the long term and is already working on an early contract extension.

Mbappé and Konaté are courting Olise

It’s no secret that Real Madrid continues to show great interest in Olise. As early as last summer, there was intense speculation about a possible move by the winger to the Spanish capital.

Bayern, however, made it clear early on that a sale was out of the question for them. Even a potential transfer fee in the hundreds of millions is said not to have swayed club officials.

Now, Real Madrid appears to be counting on support from the French national team.

Mbappé, in particular, is said to be pushing for the signing of his compatriot. According to L’Équipe, Konaté is also among the players who want to convince Olise to join the Royals.

There is an additional connection to Real Madrid through national team coach Zinédine Zidane. The former world-class player and coach of the “Royals” now leads the French national team.

Bayern wants to keep Olise long-term

The ongoing transfer rumors come at a time when the Munich club is intensively focusing on the future of its star attacker.

It was already reported in late October that club officials are planning concrete talks about an early contract extension with Olise.

Although the Frenchman still has a long-term contract with the German record champions, Bayern wants to secure planning certainty early on.

Salary is likely to play a key role in these discussions. Following Harry Kane’s long-term contract extension, new financial heights could also be reached with Olise.

Given his outstanding performances and his dramatically increased market value, the attacking player is in a strong negotiating position.

Real Madrid remains a threat to Bayern

For Munich, Olise is virtually irreplaceable on the field. Since his move from Crystal Palace, the Frenchman has developed into one of Europe’s most dangerous attacking players. His exceptional technical skills, creativity, and goal-scoring threat make him a central part of Bayern’s offense.

That is precisely why Real Madrid is likely to continue trying to convince the 24-year-old to make the move.

However, there are no indications so far that Olise himself is seeking to leave Munich.

For Bayern, the main priority now will be to successfully conclude the planned contract negotiations and offer their star player a long-term future with the club.

Until then, the courtship from Madrid is likely to continue. In any case, the latest reports show that Real Madrid is far from giving up the race for Michael Olise.
