Kylian Mbappé is reportedly pushing for a major addition to the Real Madrid squad, informing club president Florentino Perez that he has successfully persuaded Michael Olise to make the move to the Spanish capital. According to reports from BILD, the 28-year-old French captain has been actively working to convince his international teammate to depart Bayern Munich during the upcoming summer transfer window.
The two players spent significant time together while representing France at the FIFA World Cup, where Mbappé utilized the opportunity to promote the benefits of playing for the La Liga giants. During their discussions, the former PSG forward painted a picture of a potential "perfect duo," suggesting that the 24-year-old attacking midfielder would be an ideal fit for the Madrid side. Following these conversations, the former Crystal Palace player appears to have given his approval to the potential transfer.
Despite the player's apparent willingness to make the switch, Real Madrid faces the significant challenge of negotiating a deal with Bayern Munich to secure the services of the 24-year-old. Olise, who notably finished the World Cup as the tournament's leading provider with seven assists—surpassing both Lionel Messi and Mbappé—has previously sought internal advice regarding a move, consulting with teammates including Mbappé and Aurélien Tchouaméni to gain insight into life at the club.
As the market heats up, analysts are already predicting which clubs the summer's biggest free agents will sign for, adding further pressure to recruitment teams.
