Kylian Mbappe speaks on Michael Olise’s links with Real Madrid: ‘Every club would love to have him’

Kylian Mbappe speaks on Michael Olise’s links with Real Madrid: ‘Every club would love to have him’ Real Madrid had a very busy summer transfer window, bringing in as many as seven players, but one player they failed to sign was Michael Olise. Having been linked with the Bayern Munich star since the start of the summer, a move never really materialised and Los Blancos shifted their attention to Yan Diomande. Kylian Mbappe has now been asked about his international teammate’s links to Madrid, and he made no effort to hide his admiration. Mbappe refuses to push Olise towards Madrid As quoted by Fabrizio Romano , Mbappe discussed the Madrid links during an interview with BILD and insisted it would be unfair to Bayern for him to advise Olise to leave. “Olise and Real Madrid? I saw the links but I think it would be disrespectful to advise a player to leave. That would be unfair to Bayern,” Mbappe said. Mbappe believes any club would be happy to have Olise.

Of course, every club in the world would love to have Michael Olise. He’s an outstanding player,” he added. It was a very safe answer from Mbappe, but he also made it clear in the end that anyone would love to have the former Crystal Palace man. Olise would bring obvious quality Olise has developed into one of Europe’s most dangerous attacking players, combining creativity, technical quality and the ability to produce decisive moments from wide areas. Mourinho already has an attack containing Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Yan Diomande and several other options. The club’s bigger challenge is finding the right balance between those players rather than simply adding another high-profile attacker. Olise would offer a natural right-sided profile at Real Madrid. (Photo by David Ramos/Getty Images) Olise’s natural tendency to operate from the right would at least make his profile interesting. Madrid’s biggest attacking stars frequently prefer the left or central areas. However, Mbappe was right not to go further. Olise is a Bayern player, and there is no reason for the Madrid superstar to go beyond expressing admiration for him. It does feel as though Real Madrid will return for the Frenchman at some stage in the future when the opportunity presents itself. For now, though, Mourinho has a talented attack at his disposal, and he should focus on getting the best out of them in the upcoming season.
