Real Madrid are reportedly keeping a close eye on Bayern Munich forward Michael Olise (L’Equipe).
However, convincing Bayern to sell one of their most valuable players would be difficult.
The Bundesliga champions have already made it clear they have no intention of letting the 24-year-old leave.
Bayern communicated last summer that not even an offer exceeding €500 million would be enough to persuade them to sell Olise.
They’re determined to keep a player they consider key to their plans. Olise is currently under contract at the Allianz Arena until June 2029.
However, Bayern are reportedly preparing to offer him an improved deal to extend his stay and protect themselves against growing interest from elsewhere.
Madrid could have some help from within the French national team set-up.
Kylian Mbappe, Eduardo Camavinga and Ibrahima Konate have spoken to Olise about the attraction of playing for the Spanish giants.
Their conversations have reportedly introduced Olise to the possibility of joining Madrid, although there is no indication that the discussions have resulted in any agreement or formal transfer negotiations.
Bayern are firmly in control of the situation. They view Olise as an important part of their long-term project and are unlikely to entertain offers unless their position changes.
However, the situation could change if Bayern fail to convince Olise to sign a new contract.
Madrid are expected to continue monitoring developments, knowing they could make a move next summer.
Olise has been in remarkable form for Bayern this season, bagging 12 goals and seven assists in 15 appearances across all competitions.
