Kylian Mbappe defends Bayern Munich star Michael Olise amid transfer talk

Kylian Mbappe refused to push Michael Olise towards a transfer to Real Madrid.

Written by the BettingEdgeHub desk, 23 September 2026

Michael Olise put together a stunning season with Bayern Munich. He helped his club win the Bundesliga and the DFB Pokal. He finished the league campaign with thirty four goal involvements, which set a new record for a winger in the German top flight.

Transfer talk ignored

Kylian Mbappe spoke about the rumours linking his France team mate with a move to Spain. He stated that giving advice on transfers would be disrespectful to Bayern Munich. He added that every club in the world would love to have a player of that quality.

Real Madrid made a poor start to life under Jose Mourinho. The team failed to win a major trophy since Kylian Mbappe joined them. Punters looking at outright markets might see the Spanish giants drift in price for upcoming silverware if results do not improve quickly.

International duty next

France prepare to face Turkiye in the Nations League. Kylian Mbappe holds the record for the most goal involvements at a single World Cup after setting up seven goals in the recent tournament. Bettors backing France in major tournament markets will rely heavily on his output.

Cristiano Ronaldo plans to play for Portugal until he reaches forty one years of age. Kylian Mbappe doubts he will follow the same path for his country. France head into their next competitive fixture as favourites across most bookmaker lists.

What it means for a bet

Punters should monitor Real Madrid outright odds closely as Jose Mourinho works to turn their season around.
