It caused a stir when Foot Mercato recently reported that Bayern Munich star Michael Olise is keen on joining Real Madrid this summer.

Sky Germany subsequently countered those claims, reporting that Bayern were unaware of any desire from the Frenchman to make the move to the Spanish giants.

However, L'Equipe has now echoed Foot Mercato's information, claiming that the Bayern attacker has indeed set his sights on a switch to Real Madrid.

According to the report, Real Madrid are well aware of Olise's interest, with the attacker having spoken to France teammates Aurelien Tchouameni and Kylian Mbappe about the Spanish club.

Despite the renewed speculation, Sport1 reports that Bayern remain completely relaxed about the situation. 

The Bundesliga champions are said to be unfazed by the reports surrounding Olise's future, maintaining the stance they have reiterated publicly on several occasions that he is not for sale.
