The bond between Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé is set to continue until at least June 2029, barring any unforeseen changes to his current deal. However, the French captain appears to be looking toward the future of the squad already. During the 2026 World Cup, Mbappé has reportedly taken on an active role in trying to convince Michael Olise to make the move to the Spanish capital.

The enthusiasm for the 24-year-old Bayern Munich winger has reached a fever pitch following France‘s victory over Sweden in the round of 16. In that match, Michael Olise was instrumental, providing a decisive pass to Bradley Barcola and another to Kylian Mbappé. While the demand for the player is high, securing his signature will be a challenge. Michael Olise is currently under contract in Germany until June 2029, and Herbert Hainer, the president of the Bavarian club, has already stated that the player is not for sale.

Spanish interest grows as Michael Olise shines on the world stage

Despite Bayern Munich‘s firm stance, Florentino Pérez seems prepared to test their resolve. The summer transfer window is expected to be dominated by this saga, especially given Olise‘s spectacular form for the French national team. With five assists in just four matches since the start of the 2026 World Cup, his stock has never been higher. Kylian Mbappé has also been vocal in his admiration for his teammate since the start of the tournament gathering.

Mbappé acts as an intermediary to facilitate Madrid move

Behind the scenes in the United States, Mbappé is reportedly leveraging his influence to act as an unofficial recruiter for Real Madrid. Information emerging from the tournament suggests that the French superstar is working hard to persuade Michael Olise to join him at the Santiago Bernabéu. The success of these efforts remains to be seen, but the narrative suggests that the winger may be open to the idea of wearing the famous white jersey, regardless of Bayern Munich‘s current refusal to negotiate.
