Bayern Munich Sets Historic Price for Michael Olise Transfer to Real Madrid

Michael Olise, the French international and Bayern Munich star, may be on the verge of a high-profile transfer to Real Madrid following a standout season. Olise, who scored 22 goals and provided 31 assists for Bayern Munich this season, also led in assists during the World Cup, where France was eliminated in the semifinals. According to French sports outlet L'Equipe, Bayern Munich has shifted its stance from refusing to sell Olise to demanding a record transfer fee between 200 and 250 million euros. This price surpasses the previous record transfer fee of 222 million euros paid by Real Madrid for Neymar.

Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez had promised a 150 million euro offer for a new "Galáctico," which turned out to be Olise, but Bayern rejected that bid. Real Madrid may attempt to include players in the deal, potentially offering Nico Pas, who currently shines at Como and could transfer next season. If the transfer reaches 250 million euros, Bayern's former club Reading would receive 5 million euros, Crystal Palace 3.75 million, Chelsea 1.88 million, and Manchester City 625,000 euros due to Olise's youth academy history.

Olise is currently ranked as the fourth most valuable player globally, behind Amin Yamal, Erling Haaland, and Kylian Mbappé. His potential move to Real Madrid would mark one of the most expensive transfers in football history and a significant step in his career after a season marked by high performance but no major trophies.
