After a trophyless campaign, Real Madrid are determined to strengthen their squad this summer to avoid a repeat of that scenario. Several names have been linked with the Spanish giants, including Michael Olise. However, Bayern Munich have now issued a fresh statement that may cool the White House’s expectations.

Real Madrid have not yet digested their empty season. The Madrid club therefore intends to avoid a similar scenario next term and plans to reinforce the squad of José Mourinho. Names have multiplied in recent weeks, including that of Michael Olise. The 24-year-old, currently playing in the 2026 World Cup with the French national team, has shone for Bayern Munich.
