Real Madrid keep watch on Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise

Real Madrid have not abandoned their interest in Michael Olise, with the Bayern Munich winger still being monitored by the Spanish club.

According to journalist Ekrem Konur, the France international remains on Real Madrid’s list of targets after also being considered during the last summer transfer window. The club’s directors are closely following his situation in Munich and are ready to assess whether an opportunity to make a move emerges.

Real Madrid are understood to value Olise’s technical ability, creativity and quality in the final third. His form has strengthened his reputation, with the forward recording 16 decisive contributions in 11 matches for Bayern Munich.

The Spanish club could also seek to use its French contingent as part of any attempt to persuade Olise to move to Spain. Kylian Mbappe and Ibrahima Konate are among the French internationals in the Real Madrid squad, and their presence could provide an additional incentive for the winger to consider a new challenge.

Any deal, however, would be difficult to complete. Bayern Munich regard Olise as a key part of their long-term plans and are not expected to readily consider his departure.

The 24-year-old is under contract with the German club until June 2029 and remains an important player in Bayern Munich’s team. Real Madrid may therefore have to wait before deciding whether to turn their interest into a formal approach.

Olise is currently valued at 180 million euros by Transfermarkt, placing him among the most productive attacking players in world football.

His future interest comes as France prepare to face Italy in their fifth Nations League fixture.
