Real Madrid have reportedly earmarked Bayern Munich attacker Michael Olise as one of their top targets for next summer.
Premier League outfit Manchester City have been previously linked with a move for the former Crystal Palace winger, but Los Blancos are leading the race already.
The Frenchman is seen as one of the most exciting wingers in world football at the moment, and he finished 30th in the Ballon d’Or nomination this year.

Olise moved to Bayern Munich from Crystal Palace in the summer of 2024 for a fee of around £52m, and he has already established himself as one of the Bundesliga’s standout performers.
The 23-year-old has enjoyed a “phenomenal” debut campaign for Bayern, hitting double figures for both goals and assists in the Bundesliga, as Bayern snatched the league title from Bayer Leverkusen last season.
The French winger has been outstanding for the German champions this season, and he has already produced some virtuoso performances.
It comes as no surprise that several heavyweight European clubs are vying for his signature. According to journalist Alan Nixon, Real Madrid are keen to sign the winger, who has been compared to club legends Arjen Robben, Franck Ribery and Luca Toni by Bayern legend Karl-Heinz Rummenigge.
No way – Michael Olise is going nowhere
With 24 goals and 26 assists since he arrived at the Allianz Arena, Olise has proved to be an excellent signing for Die Roten.
No other player has more direct involvement in goals than Harry Kane in Germany’s top-flight across all competitions, which highlights his importance to Bayern.
Olise has a contract at the Allianz Arena until 2029, and Bayern have no intention of selling him.
It is no secret that players do get tempted if Real Madrid come calling, but Los Blancos will need to come up with a massive transfer fee to tempt Bayern into entering into a negotiation.
