Mbappe ‘personally leading’ Real Madrid push to sign Bayern’s Michael Olise – report

Kylian Mbappe is personally spearheading Real Madrid’s attempts to lure Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise to the Bernabeu this summer, according to reports in Germany.

German newspaper Bild claims the France captain has taken it upon himself to convince his international team-mate to leave Bayern and join the Spanish champions during the current transfer window.

The report says Mbappe has already informed Real Madrid president Florentino Perez that he has succeeded in persuading Olise about the idea of moving to the European champions.

World Cup talks used to sell Madrid move

According to the article, Mbappe used their time together at the World Cup to launch a sustained charm offensive.

The forward is said to have spoken with Olise on a daily basis during the tournament, outlining how they could form a “special” attacking partnership at Real Madrid and dominate both in Spain and Europe.

Mbappe reportedly explained in detail how Olise’s profile – a creative right-sided attacker who can both score and assist – would fit into Madrid’s evolving frontline and complement his own game.

The 25-year-old also stressed that Real Madrid “needs” Olise’s qualities, portraying the move as a key part of the club’s long-term sporting project rather than just another high-profile signing.

Selling the Madrid lifestyle

Beyond football, Mbappe is said to have painted an attractive picture of life in the Spanish capital to help sway Olise.

The report says he praised Madrid as a city – highlighting its lifestyle, restaurants and general atmosphere – as part of his pitch to persuade Olise to take what would be one of the biggest decisions of his career.

This off-the-pitch element was reportedly framed as an added benefit of swapping Munich for Madrid, alongside the chance to compete regularly for the Champions League and La Liga titles.

Silence from clubs as speculation grows

So far, neither Real Madrid nor Bayern Munich have issued any official comment on Olise’s future or on the suggestion that Mbappe is involved in talks.

The lack of public statements from either club comes amid growing speculation about Madrid’s next attacking reinforcement following the French star’s arrival in Spain.

Olise joined Bayern Munich with a reputation as one of Europe’s most promising wide forwards, and remains under contract with the German giants.

Olise’s record at Bayern

Michael Olise has made 107 appearances for Bayern Munich, scoring 42 goals and providing 54 assists.

Those numbers underline why he is seen as a highly valuable asset for the Bundesliga champions – and why Real Madrid, and Mbappe in particular, might view him as an ideal addition to an already star-studded squad.

Any potential move would likely require a significant fee and complex negotiations between two of Europe’s biggest clubs, with Mbappe’s behind-the-scenes role adding an extra twist to one of this summer’s most intriguing transfer stories.
