Not Konate, Mbappe wants Real Madrid to sign the French national team star

According to sources from Spain, Kylian Mbappe has surprisingly voiced his wish for Real Madrid to acquire Michael Olise, the winger under contract with Bayern Munich.

In fact, Ibrahima Konate has long been on Real Madrid's watchlist The Liverpool defender is regarded as one of Europe's best young center-backs due to his strong tackling, impressive acceleration, and modern defensive style.

Notably, Konate shares a close relationship with Mbappe as both represent the French national team. Real Madrid’s management believes that adding Konate would significantly strengthen their defense and build a solid foundation for the future.

However, since Konate’s contract with Liverpool runs until summer 2026, Real Madrid will continue monitoring him and may return to negotiations in upcoming transfer windows to bring him in on a free transfer. Therefore, the club’s real target now lies on the right wing, where Real Madrid lacks a world-class star.

According to sources from Spain, Kylian Mbappe has unexpectedly expressed his wish for Real Madrid to sign Michael Olise, the winger playing for Bayern Munich.

Although Real Madrid has entered a new era with Mbappe’s arrival, there remains a significant gap at the right-wing forward position. While Vinicius Jr. is a guaranteed starter on the left wing, the opposite flank lacks a player capable of making a real difference.

Currently, Real Madrid relies on young talents like Endrick and Gonzalo Garcia, but these two are mostly considered backup options for Mbappe at center forward rather than solving the right-wing issue.

For this reason, Mbappe is said to have directly suggested to Real Madrid’s management to consider signing Michael Olise, who is performing impressively at Bayern Munich. Olise, 23 years old, possesses excellent dribbling skills, remarkable acceleration, and is particularly dangerous in one-on-one situations.

Mbappe personally "picking" Olise shows his desire to have a strong partner on the right wing to create a powerful attacking force for Real Madrid. However, this deal is not expected to happen immediately as the club prioritizes squad stability after several major signings this summer.

At present, Real Madrid has not included Olise in their short-term transfer plans but will closely monitor his performance at Bayern Munich. If Olise continues to impress, Los Blancos are likely to make a move in the summer 2026 transfer window.

The addition of Olise alongside Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., and Bellingham promises to give Real Madrid one of the most formidable attacks in Europe, capable of competing for all major titles.
