'I'd buy Michael Olise tomorrow' - Real Madrid legend Ivan Zamorano welcomes talk of €223m transfer raid on Bayern Munich for French World Cup superstar

Galactico interest in Bayern star

Madrid are reportedly exploring a move for Olise

The interest comes following Olise's explosive start to life in Germany, where he has quickly established himself as one of the most productive forwards in European football. Madrid president Florentino Perez is known for his desire to collect the finest talents in world football, and Olise's versatility across the front line makes him a primary target for the reigning European champions.

A dream attacking lineup for Real Madrid

Speaking to

"I'd buy Olise tomorrow! And I'd play with Olise, [Kylian] Mbappe, Vinicius, and I'd bring in Enzo Fernandez and put him in midfield. We already have a right-back, a center-back... so with that we'd have a great team," Zamorano said.

The need for tactical balance and superstar power

Zamorano’s optimism for the future is tempered by a realistic assessment of the team’s recent struggles. Having watched the club struggle in the 2025-26 campaign, he believes the current squad must find a better equilibrium. While the prospect of Olise joining forces with Mbappe and Vinicius is mouth-watering, the former Inter striker warned against over-reliance on individual brilliance.

"We have two world-class strikers, and there's no doubt the team must be built around that. Last year there was an imbalance between the attackers, the midfield, and the defense. While that's true, we have to take advantage of having two world-class strikers and the possibility of adding another. We also need to find a balance by bringing in central defenders, all-around midfielders, and not relying so heavily on two monsters like Vinicius and Mbappe. We also need to try to create a very compact team from the forwards back,” he explained.

Focus on the World Cup quarter-finals

While transfer talk dominates the headlines, Olise is focused on France's 2026 World Cup campaign, with his nation's football federation

Olise was cautioned after an altercation with Matias Galarza in a bad-tempered round-of-16 tie which Didier Deschamps' side won courtesy of a Kylian Mbappe penalty. The squad is determined to protect their star asset as they move deeper into the tournament’s final rounds. France will face Morocco in the quarter-finals on July 9.
