Olise declares Real Madrid dream amid World Cup talks

Michael Olise has publicly confirmed his ambition to join Real Madrid, ending weeks of speculation, reported yesterday at 23:56. The 24‑year‑old French midfielder says he gathered extensive information about a potential move to the Spanish giants during the World Cup 2026.

The French newspaper wrote that Olise is no longer hiding his wish to transfer to Real Madrid. Gisteren the player disclosed that he has been actively seeking details about a possible switch to De Koninklijke during the WK.

Real Madrid issued an official statement on 20 June denying any interest in the Frenchman, yet Olise feels a strong personal pull toward the Spanish club. He told that the denial did not change his own conviction.

Over the past six weeks Olise reportedly held multiple conversations with national teammates Kylian Mbappé and Aurélien Tchouaméni about the prospective move. Those discussions, according to the paper, helped shape his transfer strategy.

added that the board of Real Madrid is fully aware of Olise's desire and plans to act once the WK concludes. The club’s executives see the deal as potentially historic given its financial magnitude.

President Florentino Pérez is said to be open to selling Vinícius Júnior to help offset the cost of acquiring Olise. Such a sale could partially balance the €150 million market value that Transfermarkt assigns to the midfielder.

Olise remains under contract with Bayern Munich until mid‑2029, but the German side may consider a release after the World Cup. The French midfielder’s next steps will likely be decided once the international tournament is over.
