Real hasn’t given up on Olise yet (Madrid Universal)
It is pretty clear that Bayern Munich is not going to sell Michael Olise this winter, and with a contract that runs through 2029, the Bavarians might not need to consider selling him at all (at least anytime soon). Still, this report indicates that Real Madrid would love to make a move for the Frenchman next summer:
Real Madrid have not abandoned their interest in Michael Olise, with Florentino Perez continuing to monitor the Bayern Munich winger’s contract situation ahead of a possible move next
summer, reports Defensa Central,
It is known that Bayern are working on a new contract for Olise, but the France international is seeking a release clause as part of any extension. That detail could be crucial for Real Madrid, who want to know whether a future exit route can be established before deciding how aggressively to pursue the winger.
The German club rejected Real Madrid’s interest when the Spanish giants explored a deal last summer, but the situation could change if a release clause is included in a new contract. The aforementioned outlet claims Real Madrid could be prepared to consider a figure approaching €200 million, although that should be treated as a potential valuation rather than a confirmed offer.
As Olise continues to put on incredible performances, the interest in him will only grow. Simply put, these rumors are not going to go away. If Olise inks a new deal with Bayern Munich (a likelihood given that everyone acknowledges he deserves a raise), it does not necessarily give Bayern Munich that much more security given his alleged insistence on a release clause.
It is far too early to fret over any of this, though. Olise could leave next summer, or he could leave in 2029. No one knows what is going through his mind, and no one likely ever will. For now, fans should just enjoy Olise’s stellar play on the pitch and let the contract talks be white noise behind what could be a sensational season.

Juventus might not want to sell Kenan Yildiz, but Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, and Arsenal are still watching the youngster:
Real Madrid are pushing for Kenan Yildiz with Arsenal and Bayern Munich also looking at the Juventus winger, reports Corriere dello Sport. Juve have been demanding at least €100 million for the 21-year-old for a year, but Madrid are reigniting their interest in him with the view to a move in the summer.

PSG to make move for Cherki? (ESPN)
Paris Saint-Germain could be contemplating a winter move for Rayan Cherki:
Paris Saint-Germain are monitoring Manchester City attacking midfielder Rayan Cherki ahead of a possible move in January or next summer, according to TEAMtalk. The Ligue 1 side view the 23-year-old France international as an ideal tactical fit and are waiting to see if the punishment from City’s breach of the Premier League’s financial rules prompts Cherki to seek a move away from the Etihad Stadium. Meanwhile, Internazionale are considering an approach for City midfielder Mateo Kovačić as a free agent next summer, says Tuttosport. The 32-year-old Croatia international can discuss pre-contract terms with non-English clubs from January, with Parma’s Adrián Bernabé also under consideration.
Cherki has been on Bayern Munich’s radar at different points, but that ship appears to have sailed (at least for now).
