Olise made his name at Crystal Palace, scoring 16 goals and providing 25 assists in 90 appearances before moving to Bayern in the summer of 2024. Since arriving in Germany, the 23-year-old has flourished, racking up 24 goals and 23 assists in just 59 games. He has also started the 2025–26 season in blistering form, scoring four goals in his first four matches.
According to Defensa Central, Mbappe sees Olise as the perfect fit for the right side of Madrid’s attack and has encouraged the club to explore the possibility of signing him. For now, however, the Spanish giants are not believed to be planning a move.
That position on the right remains an area of concern at the Bernabeu, with Rodrygo’s future still uncertain. The Brazilian forward was heavily linked with Manchester City, Arsenal and Tottenham over the summer but stayed put when the window closed. Even so, speculation continues and he could depart in 2026.
Should that happen, Real Madrid may revisit Olise as a potential replacement. The winger is currently valued at around £87m by Transfermarkt.
