Real Madrid is keeping a close eye on Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, as the French international emerges as a potential Galactico target for Florentino Perez and his team.

Reports from France earlier this week suggested that the 24-year-old attacker was also keen on the move, fueling rumors that the Merengues might consider a record-breaking bid.

However, it has since been reported that the Spanish club does not intend to pursue the Frenchman at the expense of damaging their strong institutional relationship with the Bundesliga champions.

Olise’s Ambitions

According to a report by German newspaper BILD, Olise has expressed his desire to leave Bavaria for a dream move to the Santiago Bernabeu.

Despite his wishes, a transfer standoff seems unlikely as the former Crystal Palace winger is not planning to force a departure from Bayern Munich.

Olise is settled in Munich and is recognized as a professional who does not typically create discord or demand to leave his club.

Bayern Pushing for Renewal

Meanwhile, Bayern Munich is resolute in its intent to keep their star player, who has thrived during his two years at the club.

Instead of considering transfer bids, the club’s executives are devising a robust counter-strategy.

Bayern aims to secure Olise’s future with a long-term contract extension that includes a lucrative salary exceeding €25 million gross per year.

This financial package would nearly double his current earnings, placing him among the club’s top earners alongside star player Harry Kane.

Real Madrid is aware of this delicate situation, and the club is content to wait in the wings, refusing to initiate negotiations unless Olise requests a transfer and Bayern opens discussions.

Currently, there is mutual interest from Olise and Real Madrid for a potential move, but it remains uncertain if this will come to fruition.
