La Liga
Real Madrid is considering reaching €250 million to try to sign this summer Michael Olise, a 24-year-old French winger who belongs to the FC Bayern Munich. The amount has not been officially offered yet but is seen as the limit that Florentino Pérez would be willing to assume if the German club agrees to negotiate.
The operation would make Olise the most expensive transfer in football history. The record still stands with Neymar, whose move from FC Barcelona to Paris Saint-Germain cost €222 million in August 2017. An investment of €250 million would surpass Neymar's signing for Paris Saint-Germain.
Real Madrid sets Michael Olise as its main target
Real Madrid's signings so far have not closed the offensive lineup. The sports management sees Michael Olise as an option for the right wing and considers investing to bring in one of the most offensively productive players from last season.
Olise finished the 2025/26 season with 22 goals and 31 assists in 52 official matches. His contribution totaled 53 direct goal involvements, with his market value around €150 million.
The French player is under contract with Bayern Munich until 2029 and does not have a release clause for unilateral departure. Therefore, any transfer within the transfer market requires a direct negotiation between both clubs.
The player has reportedly informed close associates and some members of the French national team that his priority is to join Real Madrid. He has also turned down offers from other destinations, although there hasn't been a public transfer request presented to Bayern.

Bayern Munich reluctant to start negotiations
The main challenge for Real Madrid's signings is not just the amount. Bayern Munich insists that Olise is not for sale and is considering extending his contract until 2031, along with raising his salary to around €25 million gross per season.
The German club has also featured the attacker in the presentation of their second kit for the 2026/27 season. This move reinforces Bayern's planning, counting on the winger for the new season without setting an official price for his departure.
Florentino Pérez aims to maintain the institutional relationship between the two clubs. The Madrid president has direct communication with Herbert Hainer, Bayern's chairman, and doesn't intend to contact the player without addressing the owning club first.
Real Madrid denied on June 20 that they had directly or indirectly contacted Olise, his representatives, or associates. This communication does not rule out a future negotiation between clubs.

An amount that would break the transfer market
The projected expenditure would only make sense if Bayern alters its stance. The €250 million would allow Real Madrid to surpass Neymar's record but would also require the German club to consider selling a player with three years left on his contract.
The next step depends on a meeting between Olise and Bayern's management. If the Frenchman formally requests to leave and the German club is open to offers, Real Madrid will decide whether to make its largest investment before the transfer market deadline.
