The French national team's training camp is generating more headlines off the field than on it. According to information published by "Defensa Central", Kylian Mbappé has used these days with Les Bleus to try to convince a fellow countryman to join Real Madrid in the near future.
The player in question is none other than Michael Olise, right winger for Bayern Munich and one of the brightest gems in European soccer.
Wink for Olise
According to the aforementioned source, Kylian Mbappé addressed Olise in a relaxed and friendly tone with a phrase that has caused a stir in France and Spain. "You have to come to Real Madrid," the French striker told his compatriot.
Although everything happened in a joking atmosphere, the truth is that these words reinforce the idea that Mbappé not only wants to succeed at Bernabéu... but also seeks to surround himself with top-level footballers who will strengthen the white project in the medium and long term.
Michael Olise, a talent who captivates Europe
Michael Olise, 23, is a left-footed right winger with the ability to unbalance in one-on-one situations, a good shot, and vision. His breakthrough in the Bundesliga with Bayern Munich has made him one of the most promising strikers on the continent.
He is currently valued at over €100 million (over $108 million), a figure in line with his youth and potential.
Michael Olise's fit at Real Madrid
From a white perspective, Olise would fit perfectly on the right side of the attack. Real Madrid has the left flank well covered with Vinícius Jr., while on the right the options are shared between Rodrygo Goes, Brahim, and Franco Mastantuono.
The arrival of a player like Michael Olise would bring more competition, verticality, and offensive resources to a team that always demands to have the best. In addition, his understanding with Mbappé in the French national team could be an advantage when it comes to integrating quickly into Xabi Alonso's system.
A wish shared by Mbappé
The most striking thing about this story is that Mbappé himself has taken the first step to entice a teammate to Real Madrid. Although for now it is just a simple joke between internationals, the wink hasn't gone unnoticed.
Time will tell if Michael Olise ends up wearing white, but what is clear is that Mbappé has already started to play his role as a merengue ambassador inside the France locker room. The message couldn't have been clearer: "You have to come to Real Madrid".
