Real Madrid entrusts Kylian Mbappé with a special mission

Real Madrid is ready to pull out all the stops to land Michael Olise. In fact, Los Merengues have reportedly decided to rely on the influence of Kylian Mbappé, tasking him with convincing his France teammate to join him at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Real Madrid hasn’t given up on the Michael Olise pursuit. According to Spanish daily Sport, the club has activated a unique strategy to attract the Bayern Munich winger, despite the German side’s determination to keep hold of their French international.

La Casa Blanca is counting on a major asset: Kylian Mbappé. In the midst of the 2026 World Cup with the French national team, the former Parisian has reportedly been given the mission to persuade his teammate to come to the Santiago Bernabéu. Sport even claims: “It’s Mbappé himself who is making subtle gestures within the national team to convince Olise that his place is at the new Bernabéu.”

However, this transfer saga promises to be complex. Bayern Munich has no intention of parting ways with their 24-year-old, whose market value keeps soaring. Still, Real Madrid hopes that Mbappé’s influence could prove to be the decisive factor in this blockbuster operation.
