Michael Olise was heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid earlier this summer, but ultimately stayed at Bayern Munich, with the Spanish giants instead opting to sign RB Leipzig's Yan Diomande.

However, it seems unlikely that this will be the last time the Frenchman attracts interest from other top clubs – and according to an anonymous source close to Olise who spoke to L'Équipe, the 24-year-old could eventually look to move on.

“He [Olise] is very happy in Munich. Of course, in the long term, it's logical that he will seek out new challenges,” the source told L'Équipe, as quoted by Bayern-focused X account @iMiaSanMia.

“But for now, everything is going well. He simply wants to continue improving and, above all, win everything this season with Bayern.”

Olise's contract with Bayern runs until the summer of 2029.
