Real Madrid unwilling to pay €120 million to sign Michael Olise

Bayern Munich’s asking price for Michael Olise has become an issue, with Real Madrid unwilling to pay €120 million to sign the 23-year-old French international this summer.

According to a report by Spanish outlet Fichajes, Bayern Munich attacker Michael Olise is the subject of interest from Real Madrid. The Spanish giants are eager to reinforce their offensive unit by signing a versatile wide attacker in the upcoming transfer window.

However, Bayern Munich’s asking price is an issue for Real Madrid, as the Bundesliga champions are demanding around €120 million to part ways with the Frenchman. However, the Merengues have no interest in breaking the bank to sign Olise from die Roten in the summer.

Michael Olise and his rise at Bayern Munich

Michael Olise has established himself as one of the world’s best players since joining Bayern Munich from Crystal Palace in July 2024. The 24-year-old was already among the most promising attackers in the Premier League when he arrived at the Allianz Arena, and he has made exponential progress in the last 18 months.

The French international has been exceptional in the excellent 2025/26 campaign thus far. Olise has scored 16 goals and provided 29 assists in 41 appearances across all competitions. So, it is hardly surprising that Olise has become one of the most sought-after players in the market this year, with Real Madrid among his prospective suitors vying for his signature.

Premier League return on the horizon?

Michael Olise has been on Real Madrid’s radar for a long time. The continued interest is understandable, as Rodrygo faces an uncertain future at the Santiago Bernabeu ahead of the summer. The Brazilian international has not been a regular starter for Real Madrid this season, and his situation has piqued the attention of several Premier League clubs.

Several candidates have thus emerged on Real Madrid’s wishlist, with Olise a viable target. The Bayern Munich attacker will be an upgrade on Rodrygo on the right flank, and his creative output will provide a much-needed productivity boost in the final third for Los Blancos.

However, with Bayern Munich’s asking price of €120 million becoming a point of contention for Real Madrid, a summer move may not be on the cards. Unless the Bavarian outfit’s valuation reduces, the Merengues will have to set their sights elsewhere for an offensive reinforcement.
