Overview
- Multiple German and Spanish outlets report that Kylian Mbappé actively courted Michael Olise during the World Cup and told Real president Florentino Pérez he had received positive signals from the Bayern winger.
- FC Bayern have publicly stressed Olise’s contract runs until 2029 and contains no exit clause, and club leaders have repeatedly said they do not plan to sell him.
- Bayern are reportedly preparing a major salary increase to keep Olise, with one media estimate suggesting an offer that would roughly double his current pay.
- Reports conflict over Olise’s intentions: L’Équipe said he told teammates he wanted Real, while Sky and Olise’s agent have denied any plans to leave and told Bayern not to worry.
- Olise’s rising profile — 96 goal involvements in 107 Bayern games and a World Cup record seven assists — helps explain Madrid’s interest and why the situation remains unsettled without any formal offer.
