The partnership between Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé is currently slated to run until June 2029, but the French superstar may already be looking to expand the squad’s talent pool. During the 2026 World Cup, whispers from the training camps suggest that Mbappé is actively trying to convince Michael Olise to join him at the Santiago Bernabéu, acting as an unofficial ambassador for the Spanish giants.

The demand for the 24-year-old Bayern Munich winger has skyrocketed following a masterclass in the round of 16. In the clash between France and Suède, Michael Olise was the architect of the victory, providing crucial assists for both Bradley Barcola and Kylian Mbappé. While Olise is tied to the German club until 2029 and Bayern Munich president Herbert Hainer has firmly stated that the player is not on the market, the pressure from Spain is becoming difficult to ignore.

Florentino Pérez appears ready to challenge Bayern Munich’s stance as the summer transfer window approaches. The hype is fueled by Olise’s extraordinary statistics on the world stage, having already racked up five assists in just four appearances for France. Throughout the tournament, Kylian Mbappé has been vocal in his praise for his teammate, further fueling speculation about a potential reunion at the club level.

On the ground in the United States, where the World Cup is unfolding, it has become clear that Mbappé is leveraging his influence. The French captain is reportedly engaged in a persistent effort to sell the Real Madrid project to Michael Olise behind closed doors. If the winger decides he wants to trade the Bundesliga for La Liga, the management at Bayern Munich will face a significant dilemma regarding the future of their star attacker.
