Real Madrid are preparing to move for Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, with Alan Nixon reporting that the Frenchman has been identified as Los Blancos’ priority target for the 2025 summer transfer window.
The 23-year-old only joined Bayern from Crystal Palace in 2024, but his sparkling form has already made him one of Europe’s most watched forwards, with Manchester City also tracking him yet Real Madrid appear to be in pole position at this stage.
According to Defensa Central, Kylian Mbappe has privately pushed for Olise’s signing after being impressed by his international break performances where the winger played a central role in France’s attack.
Bayern star scored inside 10 minutes against Ukraine in the 2026 World Qualification match held in the first week of September.
These performances have come after his scintillating 2024/2025 season for Bayern, where he scored 20 goals and provided 23 assists across 55 matches in all competitions.
However, according to few reports Olise won’t come cheap with the Die Roten valuing him around €80m [$94m].

Vini Jr future in doubt at Real Madrid
Vinícius Júnior’s situation at the Bernabeu has grown increasingly complicated, with Diario Sport reporting that the Brazilian could explore leaving in 2027 should contract negotiations remain stalled.
Talks over a new deal have been paused after the winger’s role diminished under new manager Xabi Alonso.
The 25-year-old’s frustration became public during a league clash against Espanyol when he reacted angrily to being substituted.
Alonso, according to reports, is beginning to lose patience with the forward’s attitude, further clouding the outlook for a player once seen as the club’s attacking cornerstone.
