Bayern Munich are beginning to seriously consider the possibility of Michael Olise leaving. As the French international is reportedly prioritizing a move to Real Madrid, the Bavarian club is already working on several profiles capable of replacing him.
Michael Olise could be one of the major stories of the summer. The player is said to be getting closer to joining Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich would struggle to keep him if he publicly pushes for the move. A replacement would therefore be necessary.
Bayern prepares for potential Olise departure
According to information from Santi Aouna and Sébastien Denis of Foot Mercato, Bradley Barcola is among the players being monitored by the German champions. Bayern have reportedly already made inquiries about the Paris Saint-Germain winger to avoid being caught off guard if Olise requests a transfer.
Officially, Bayern’s stance remains unchanged: Michael Olise is considered non-transferable. However, behind the scenes, the club’s management is preparing for all scenarios. The player’s desire to join Real Madrid could weaken Bayern’s position if the Spanish club submits a significant offer.
Barcola’s profile is highly appreciated in Bavaria. Fast, capable of playing on both wings, and already experienced at the highest level, the former Lyon player would perfectly match the type of player Bayern are seeking. However, PSG have no intention of letting him go, as Luis Enrique views him as a key part of his attacking setup, making any deal extremely difficult to complete.
