Bayern Munich forward Michael Olise was heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid at the start of the summer transfer window. However, Bayern's clear stance on keeping the player and the positive relationship between the two clubs ultimately made a move impossible during this period.
Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé, who plays alongside Olise for the French national team, admitted he would enjoy playing with him at club level but insisted on maintaining professional boundaries.
I saw those rumors, but I think it would be disrespectful of me to tell a player to leave. It would be unfair to Bayern. Besides, Bayern is already a great club where Michael can achieve a lot. Of course, every club in the world would like to have a player of his level. He is an outstanding footballer. Kylian Mbappé
Olise has been in excellent form this season, contributing eight goals and four assists in just seven matches.
