Michael Olise transfer saga heats up as Real Madrid prepares €220m bid to rival PSG

This season, Michael Olise has firmly established himself among the world’s elite players, shining brightly for Bayern Munich. Paris Saint-Germain have taken notice and are reportedly keen to secure his signature, but Real Madrid are also in the race. The Spanish giants could throw down a staggering €220 million offer to outmaneuver PSG and land the French international.

On Tuesday evening, the France national team kicked off their World Cup campaign against Senegal with a 3-1 victory, and Kylian Mbappé was outstanding. After a difficult first half, the Bleus captain adjusted his aim and scored a brace. However, the man of the match award went to Michael Olise, who notably provided an assist for Real Madrid’s goalscorer.

Michael Olise on PSG’s radar

Michael Olise delivered a superb performance against Senegal, continuing his excellent season with Bayern Munich. The French winger has impressed with the German champions, and PSG have taken note. According to inside sources, the Parisian club wants to add him to their attacking lineup and is prepared to spend big to make it happen. The two-time European champions could thus add another French international to their attack, joining Barcola, Dembélé, and Doué.

Real Madrid could offer €220m for Olise

PSG will certainly try their luck to sign Michael Olise, but they will face stiff competition from Real Madrid. The Spanish powerhouse has also earmarked the Frenchman to bolster their attack and is willing to go all out. Reports indicate that Madrid’s board could offer up to €220 million to Bayern Munich to buy out the final three years of the 24-year-old’s contract. Whether the Bavarians will accept that price remains to be seen, as their initial plan was to keep Michael Olise at the club.
