Michael Olise's journey to his first World Cup with France came to an end in the semifinals, with Spain securing a spot in the final after a 2-0 victory. The “Tricolores” attacking midfielder leads the assists standings with five, and the third-place match against the loser of the England-Argentina match remains.

Nevertheless, speculation about his future remains in the spotlight, with French journalist Santi Auna of footballmercato revealing that Olise wants to transfer to Real Madrid!

“Olise believes that Madrid would be the ideal place to take the next step in his career,” Aouna notes in his post, with the Bayern Munich attacking midfielder currently under contract through 2029.

However, he emphasizes that Bayern’s stance remains clear and that the player is not for sale, although the German champions have begun looking at potential replacements for him in the event that Olise leaves this summer.
