​Paris Saint-Germain has shut down any prospect of signing Bayern Munich winger Michael Olise, according to L’Equipe. PSG, aiming to refresh their attack this summer, had recently been connected with Olise, but the club reportedly views a deal as overly complicated, internally labeling it a “nightmare.” Instead, the French giants are expected to concentrate their transfer efforts on Monaco’s Maghnes Akliouche and RB Leipzig’s teenage prodigy Yan Diomande. Reports indicate that PSG have already reached an agreement on personal terms with Akliouche, though discussions for Diomande have not yet begun. Diomande, who has opted to join PSG over Liverpool, would complement Akliouche in the squad, and the arrivals of both players could clear the path for Bradley Barcola to depart. Liverpool are currently leading the race to sign the French winger.
Olise has expressed a strong interest in joining Real Madrid this summer and is said to have confided in close associates about his desire to move to the Spanish giants. The 24-year-old has reportedly sought guidance from France teammates Kylian Mbappe and Aurélien Tchouaméni regarding life at Madrid. Meanwhile, Dayot Upamecano is attempting to persuade Olise to remain at Bayern, though the Bavarian club insists the attacker is not for sale and reiterates its intention to extend his contract, which runs until 2029.
Olise enjoyed an exceptional previous season, scoring 22 goals and providing 31 assists in 52 appearances across all competitions. The former Crystal Palace winger has also shone at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, recording five assists—the most of any player at the tournament. As for Olise’s future, more clarity is anticipated after the World Cup period. Bayern Munich is not under pressure to sell and would only entertain offers exceeding €200 million.
