Mbappé pushes for Olise’s Real Madrid move during World Cup

With the current contract of Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid set to expire in June 2029, the possibility of a premature separation between the French striker and the Spanish giants seems increasingly unlikely. Yet, as the 2026 FIFA World Cup unfolds, a new dynamic is emerging—one that could reshape the club’s future ambitions. Reports indicate that Mbappé is actively lobbying Michael Olise, the 24-year-old winger from Bayern Munich, to consider a move to the Santiago Bernabéu stadium.

Following France’s Round of 16 clash against Sweden at the 2026 World Cup—where Olise delivered two crucial assists to both Bradley Barcola and Mbappé himself—the Madrid-based press has turned up the heat. The sentiment is clear: Real Madrid must secure Olise’s signature, even if it means stretching their financial limits. The challenge, however, remains substantial. Bayern Munich’s president, Herbert Hainer, has already publicly dismissed any notion of allowing Olise to leave for the Spanish club.

Madrid’s media frenzy over Michael Olise’s potential arrival

Despite the Bavarian club’s firm stance, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez appears undeterred. The summer transfer window promises to be a drawn-out saga, with persistent rumors swirling around Olise’s future. His performances for France in the World Cup—five assists in as many matches—have only amplified the hype, earning him widespread praise in Spanish sports media. Mbappé, too, has publicly lauded Olise’s contributions since joining the French national team setup, further fueling speculation about a potential partnership at club level.

The latest twist in this unfolding narrative comes from insider reports suggesting Mbappé is playing an active role in persuading Olise to swap Bayern Munich’s red and white stripes for Real Madrid’s iconic white jersey. According to sources close to the situation, Mbappé is leveraging his influence within the team to sway Olise’s decision in favor of the Spanish powerhouse. The question now is whether Bayern Munich will hold firm or if Olise’s ambitions could lead him to the Bernabéu—regardless of the Bavarian club’s objections.
