Michael Olise developed a strong understanding with captain Kylian Mbappe, who benefited from the winger’s creativity. That relationship has reportedly played a role in convincing Olise to consider a move to Real Madrid.
His situation has attracted plenty of attention in Germany, but Bayern Munich are determined not to lose him. The winger remains under contract until 2029, and the Bundesliga giants are hoping to convince him to extend his stay.
Real Madrid are aware that signing Olise would require a significant investment, with reports suggesting a bid of at least €150million could be needed.
However, Spanish media believe a move to the Bernabeu this summer remains unlikely, although the transfer window can always produce surprises.
Liverpool were linked with the Frenchman as they searched for a long-term replacement for club legend Mohamed Salah.
According to Bild, Bayern Munich are starting to anticipate Olise’s departure. The club have already identified PSG winger Bradley Barcola as a potential replacement.
Barcola does not operate in the same positions as Olise but is viewed as a similar profile due to his pace and attacking ability. Bayern’s interest in the former Lyon player is not new, but they are monitoring his situation closely.
Barcola is under contract with PSG until 2028 and has yet to sign an extension. The 23-year-old is considering his future in Paris due to limited opportunities in major Champions League matches, with Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United also interested.
If Barcola fails to renew his contract and Olise departs Bayern next summer, the German club could look to take advantage of the situation and sign the French international for a lower fee than PSG’s reported €150million valuation.
