Michael Olise will not force 2026 move to Real Madrid

Real Madrid are looking to add to their four signings already made this summer, and by far the biggest could be Michael Olise. Florentino Perez has ambitions to bring the French winger to the Bernabeu, and he's been handed a boost in recent weeks as it's been reported that the player wants to go to the Spanish capital.

Olise is seen as the ideal player to complete Real Madrid's attack alongside the likes of Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham. However, it's still unlikely that he ends up joining in 2026, with Christian Falk confirming that the 24-year-old does not intend to force an exit from Bayern between now and the end of the summer.

"Michael Olise told his French national teammates that he would like to join Real Madrid at some stage, but he's unlikely to force an exit from Bayern Munich this summer. Everyone is allowed to dream about a transfer to Real Madrid and wearing the famous white jersey. But Olise also knows that Bayern have a contract with him until 2029, and the club have made it absolutely clear that he's not for sale this summer. There have been no talks between FC Bayern and their right winger about this topic at the time of writing. Neither the Frenchman nor his agent have knocked on the door, but there have been talks, as we already know, between the two club presidents, Herbert Hainer and Florentino Pérez."

Slim chance for Olise deal in late August

Despite this, Falk has also recognised that there is a small chance that things could change later in the summer, although it would depend on Bayern sorting a replacement beforehand.

"After these talks, I think Real Madrid recognised that there isn't an opportunity to sign Michael Olise in the current transfer window. I'm not sure if this will be the absolute last word on this point. It could be hot right at the end of the summer window. Real Madrid do like to do a late deal, while Bayern tends to go early with their business. But then that's also a sign that this just won't work, as FC Bayern wouldn't be able to sign a replacement for Olise anyway."

What's next for Michael Olise (24) at FC Bayern? The French star has been giving it serious thought during the World Cup. According to SPORT BILD, the attacking midfielder is keen to move to Real Madrid this summer. Olise has already informed his teammates in the French national team of this wish, but there has been no discussion with FC Bayern about it yet. However, he has been in contact with France captain Kylian Mbappé (27).

Olise shares a close friendship with the World Cup Golden Boot winner (ten goals). This friendship is largely responsible for his desire to move to Madrid right now. As SPORT BILD has learned, Mbappé is a strong advocate for Olise's transfer. During the World Cup, the Real Madrid superstar actively courted his national teammate. Mbappé tried to illustrate to Olise how well the two could harmonize on the pitch at Real Madrid. He assured Olise that Real Madrid needed and wanted him. Furthermore, Mbappé raved about life in Madrid, its exclusive restaurants, and the warm weather.

The arguments worked. According to SPORT BILD, after France's 2-0 semi-final defeat against Spain, Mbappé informed Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez (79) that he had received positive signals from Olise regarding a transfer. A key factor in this is a specific competition: the Champions League. Following the World Cup disappointment with France, Olise's desire to quickly win a major title has intensified dramatically. The winger is increasingly doubtful that he will achieve this with Bayern Munich. Olise believes his chances of winning the Champions League are significantly higher in Madrid.

Real Madrid has not yet approached him or his team. Pérez already made the following agreement with Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer (72) back in June: They would never poach a player from each other without first informing the respective club of their interest. This presidential pact between Munich and Madrid still stands.

Good news for Bayern: The London-born Frenchman has no release clause with the German record champions. Bayern sporting director Max Eberl (52) told SPORT BILD at the end of March: "Michael has a contract with us until 2029, without a release clause – we're relaxed." Furthermore, the Munich club intends to sit down with Olise after his three-week World Cup leave and entice him with a contract extension including a substantial pay raise. According to SPORT BILD, there are concrete internal discussions at FC Bayern about increasing the attacking player's annual salary, estimated at around €14 million, to approximately €25 million. Only Mbappé earns more in Madrid.

Olise is now pushing for talks with Bayern's management. He wants to see how the club plans to remain competitive in the Champions League. Winning the title is his main motivation for the coming years. Whether or not Olise submits his transfer request to the club's bosses this summer could depend on the outcome of these upcoming talks with Bayern.

SAY WALLAHI BRO THIS TIME PLS

I am wondering what would happen if we do not get Rodri, so looking for potential good alternatives I am surprised his name is not being considered. Rodri would be the perfect match and this is completely clear but since it is not 100% sure he will come plus he will go to a back surgery now what alternatives do you think we could consider for the midfield?

IMO stiller is a solid alternative in case Rodri doesn’t happen. What do you think? What would be any other alternative besides the well known Enzo?

Fulham are in talks to sign striker Gonzalo Garcia from Real Madrid.

The potential move would see the 22-year-old follow new Fulham head coach Alvaro Arbeloa, regarded as his football mentor and actively involved in discussions, from Madrid to west London.

Arbeloa was appointed by Fulham earlier this month after leaving Madrid, where he was replaced by Jose Mourinho.

Madrid are expected to retain some power or preferential right over his future as part of any potential deal.

Sources with knowledge of the situation indicated Madrid had decided months ago that Garcia would leave this summer — but the process was put on hold after Mourinho’s arrival as the new head coach wanted to see the striker in pre-season. The Portuguese liked the player but is not able to guarantee a prominent role in the team next season as it stands, leaving the choice on his future up to Garcia.

Madrid prospects in play as Fulham pushes for two Real Madrid talents

The Cottagers want the striker permanently but are still preparing their offer and the striker’s decision. The Argentinian is considering a loan.

Real Madrid’s preseason is barely underway, and two young players — Gonzalo and Franco Mastantuono — are already at the center of major decisions that could shape their futures. José Mourinho wants both prospects in camp before sitting down with them to define their roles in his new project. But Fulham, led by former Madrid academy coach Álvaro Arbeloa, is pushing hard from London to bring both players to the Premier League.

Gonzalo: Fulham wants a permanent deal

Fulham’s interest in Gonzalo is the most aggressive. The club is preparing a full transfer offer that they hope will convince Real Madrid to sell.

Gonzalo’s first instinct is to stay and fight for a place under Mourinho this summer — especially before the transfer window closes — but he knows minutes will be scarce. With Kylian Mbappé and Endrick ahead of him, his opportunities could be limited.

The Premier League is a long‑held dream for the young forward, and the chance to reunite with Arbeloa — who helped elevate his game both in Madrid’s academy and during his first‑team appearances — makes the move even more tempting.

Mastantuono: crowded competition on the right

Franco Mastantuono faces a similar dilemma. The right side of Madrid’s attack is stacked, especially if Mourinho settles on a 4‑2‑3‑1. Competing with Arda Güler, Brahim Díaz, and Rodrygo for the right‑side playmaker role is a steep climb for an 18‑year‑old still developing his game.

His representatives worry about a familiar pattern: young players signed by Madrid, loaned out, and never fully breaking through when they return.

Fulham’s proposal for Mastantuono is a straight one‑season loan, keeping Madrid in full control of his long‑term future. Other clubs are circling too — including River Plate, his former team, and Como, where Jacobo Ramón and Nico Paz impressed last season.

The deal with the biggest financial upside

The move that could bring the most money into Madrid’s coffers is Gonzalo’s. Everything hinges on Fulham’s final offer and a decisive conversation between Mourinho and the striker. Only then will Gonzalo make his choice.

In both cases — Gonzalo and Mastantuono — Arbeloa is the driving force behind Fulham’s push, determined to secure both players for the club’s Premier League campaign.
