Will Olise replace Vinícius? Real Madrid discusses a major swap

Real Madrid could be involved in one of the biggest deals in European football during the summer transfer window. The Madrid side wants to sign Bayern Munich star Michael Olise, and to fund the transfer, Vinícius Júniorbeing sold is not ruled out.

Olise does not hide his desire to move to Real Madrid

According to L'Equipe, the 24-year-old French player has expressed to his inner circle his desire to leave Bayern Munich and join Real Madrid.

It is reported that during the World Cup, Olise gathered information about the club's atmosphere from Madrid players such as Kylian Mbappé and Aurélien Tchouaméni. The Real Madrid board may begin efforts to finalize the transfer after the tournament concludes.

Why is Vinícius's future in question?

The source notes that Vinícius Júnior's current contract with Real Madrid expires in the summer of 2027. The Brazilian forward has not yet signed a new deal.

If Vinícius does not accept the financial terms offered by the club, Madrid may consider selling him this summer to avoid losing him as a free agent. The funds from his transfer are said to be earmarked to finance the expensive deal for Olise.

What is the value of the two players?

Transfermarkt values Michael Olise at €150 million and Vinícius Júnior at €140 million. However, market value is not the official transfer fee — Bayern Munich could demand a much higher sum for the deal.

According to L'Equipe, the Olise transfer could potentially be valued between €200–250 million. If this happens, the deal would become one of the most expensive transfers in football history.

Bayern Munich will not agree easily

Olise's contract with the Munich club runs until June 30, 2029. Therefore, Bayern holds a strong position in negotiations and has no intention of letting one of its key players go cheaply.

The French player primarily operates on the right wing. His arrival could lead to a new partnership in the Real Madrid attack with Kylian Mbappé and change the team's play on the flanks.

Official negotiations have not yet been confirmed

At the same time, these reports remain at the level of transfer rumors for now. Real Madrid officially stated on June 20 that they had not contacted Olise, his representatives, or his inner circle, either directly or indirectly.

However, L'Equipe's new report suggests that Madrid's interest is serious and the club could initiate a major operation after the World Cup.

Now the main issue depends on Vinícius's attitude toward a new contract and how much money Bayern will demand for Olise.

Do you think it would be the right decision for Real Madrid to sell Vinícius and replace him with Michael Olise?
