Michael Olise, a 24-year-old French winger, would prefer to sign for Real Madrid rather than return to the Premier League if he decides to leave Bayern Munich, according to information published this week by Christian Falk and other specialized media outlets. Arsenal and Liverpool maintain interest in the attacker, but his preference for Spain could impact any move in the upcoming summer transfer market.

Michael Olise Looks Toward Real Madrid

The future of Michael Olise has gained prominence in recent weeks. According to information from CaughtOffside based on Christian Falk's reports, the player views a potential move to Spain more favorably than returning to English football, where he previously played for Crystal Palace.

Real Madrid emerges as his preferred option if he leaves Germany. However, this preference does not indicate any agreement with the club nor have negotiations been initiated to complete the transfer.

In fact, on June 20, 2026, Madrid released a statement denying any contact with Olise, his representatives, or associates. Hence, the interest attributed to the club should be distinguished from an ongoing operation: there is no public record of a formal offer.

The situation could change in the coming transfer windows, especially if Bayern fails to secure a renewal satisfactory to the player and his agent. Currently, Olise is under contract with the German club until June 30, 2029.

Arsenal and Liverpool Lose Ground in the Race

Having a preference for Spain would be a setback for Arsenal and Liverpool, two English clubs linked to the future of the winger. Both remain interested in his situation, although recent reports do not confirm any formal proposal from either club.

Arsenal's interest is reportedly tied to bolstering their attacking resources to contend for major European titles. Liverpool has also been associated with the player, but recent reports suggest that a return to England is not currently his top choice.

Olise's alleged stance does not entirely close the door on the Premier League. Yet, if the Frenchman decides to leave Bayern, Real Madrid would hold an advantage due to recent reports attributing preference to the Spanish club, provided that Madrid translates this scenario into concrete interest.

Bayern Prepares Renewal to Protect Its Star

Bayern has contractual leeway to negotiate without urgency: they signed Olise in July 2024 from Crystal Palace for a sum close to 53 million euros, as reported by the press. Since then, his value has increased, and the German club is working to secure his continuity.

Reports from Sky Germany, cited by Spanish media, indicate Bayern is considering extending the contract until 2032 and raising his annual salary above 25 million euros. Including a release clause would be one of the friction points, as the player's entourage aims to retain a means to control his future.

The next step will be to see if both parties reach an agreement in the coming months. If the renewal progresses, Bayern will strengthen its position; if it stalls, Real Madrid might consider the deal, while Arsenal and Liverpool would need to convince Michael Olise that returning to England aligns with his plans.
